Elastic considerations of field pull-out tests of polymer strip reinforcement
Abstract
A methodology by which frictional coefficient and rigidity were estimated using measurements of pull-out force at front end and tensile strain at any point along embedment length is presented based on theory of elasticity. Some results of field pull-out test are also shown. Analysis of field pull-out tests through proposed methodology shows that estimated frictional coefficients are little lower than those obtained through direct shear test and estimated rigidities are good agreement with those from tensile tests.
