What is Experimental Study on the Flexural Creep Behaviors of Pultruded Unidirectional Carbon/Glass Fiber-Reinforced Hybrid Bars about?
Unidirectional pultruded glass/carbon hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (HFRP) bars with a diameter of 19 mm have recently been developed for various structural applications. In this study, the creep behavior of HFRP bars caused by bending was experimentally evaluated under different conditions. Our creep study included freeze–thaw preconditioned and unconditioned HFRP bars. The rate of strain and deflection were monitored continuously for a duration of 5000 h. The bars were further tested for creep under the combined effects of mechanical loading and induced thermal cycles, while continuously monitoring the strain rate. Stress levels of 50% to 70% were selected for our creep study. The creep behavior of the bars was analyzed utilizing Findley’s power-law model. On the basis of the linear approximation of Findley’s power law, modulus reductions of approximately 21%, 19%, and 10.75% were calculated for combined freeze–thaw/creep-loaded, freeze–thaw pretreated, and unconditioned HFRP bars, respectively, over a service period of 50 y. The time-dependent deflection of HFRP bars was analyzed by coupling Findley’s power-law model with Euler Bernoulli’s beam theory. The creep deflection int
