dc.description.abstractIn recent years, researchers have focused on the usability of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars due to their lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and eco-friendly characteristics. Geopolymers, as low-carbon alternatives to traditional binders, aim to reduce CO2 emissions in concrete production. The bond strength between FRP bars and concrete is critical for the load-bearing capacity and deformation characteristics of reinforced elements. The objectives of this work are to investigate the bond performance of GFRP bars in chopped glass and basalt fiber-added geopolymer concrete using hinged beam tests. Since the hinged beam test accurately represents the behavior of real bending elements, this test method was selected as a main bonding test. Initially, three geopolymer mixtures with Ms modulus values of 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 were prepared and tested. The mixture with a modulus of 1.2 Ms, achieving a compressive strength of 56.53 MPa, a flexural strength of 3.54 MPa, and a flow diameter of 57 cm, was chosen for beam production due to its optimal workability and strength. After mechanical and workability tests, SEM analysis was performed to evaluate its internal structure. For evaluating the bond performance of GFRP bars, 12 geopolymer beam specimens were prepared, incorporating varying fiber types (chopped glass fiber or basalt fiber) and embedment lengths (5 & Oslash; or 20 & Oslash;). Hinged beam tests revealed that the bond strengths of glass and basalt fiber-added mixtures were up to 49% and 37% higher than that of the control geopolymer concrete, respectively. It was concluded that incorporating fibers positively influenced the bond between geopolymer concrete and GFRP bars, with glass fibers proving more effective than basalt fibers. These findings enhance the understanding of bond mechanisms between GFRP bars and geopolymer concrete, emphasizing their potential for sustainable and durable construction in both industrial and scientific applications.
