The fatigue life of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons was studied in this paper. A new wedge-type anchorage system was applied to the fatigue test of CFRP tendons and demonstrated an excellent fatigue resistance. In the test and analytical data, the fatigue stress ranged from 200 MPa to 800 MPa, and maximum stresses from 0.37 to 1.0 fu (fu = ultimate tensile strength of CFRP tendons) were determined. The main work and results were that the stress range and stress level (maximum stress) were two key parameters affecting the fatigue life of CFRP tendons. A bilinear equation and a linear equation considering the fatigue life of CFRP tendons jointly affected by the stress range and the maximum stress were established. The error of predicted results and test results was 0.038 and 0.083, respectively, both representing good prediction accuracy. The predicted results of Whitney's method showed that, at a 95% confidence level, when the stress range was 200 MPa, 400 MPa, and 600 MPa, the maximum stress limit of CFRP tendons, which were not broken in a fatigue test of 2 million times, was 63.9% fu, 53.0% fu, and 36.8% fu, respectively.

This study builds a refined finite element (FE) model to research the flexural behavior of a reinforced beam with prestressed CFRP tendons. The precision of the FE model is validated through a comparison with the experimental outcomes. The numerical findings align well with the experimental outcomes, encompassing the failure mode, load-deflection curve, load-strain curves of concrete, steel reinforcements and CFRP tendons.

The reliable anchorage of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons is a critical issue influencing the stable bearing capacity of bridge cables. This study introduces a novel CFRP single-strand extrusion anchoring structure, where the strand is compressed at its end. By integrating this with internal cone filler wrapping, we create a CFRP multi-strand cable composite anchoring system.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons are composite materials that offer significant advantages in terms of tensile strength and lightweight properties. They are being increasingly utilized in the construction industry, particularly in bridge cables and building structures. However, due to their relatively poor transverse mechanical properties compared to steel cables, securing these tendons with anchors presents a challenge.

The primary drawback of concrete lies in its low tensile strength, prompting the development of various solutions to enhance this aspect. A notable approach is the utilization of Prestressed Reinforced Concrete (PRC) with tendons, aimed at bolstering its tensile strength. As the use of diverse tendon types in the PRC continues to surge, a review becomes imperative to delve into this evolution.

There have been many research reports on the reinforcement of small-sized square columns with a cross-section of 200mm-300mm using prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials, while there are few studies on piers in bridge and tower columns in cable-stayed bridges with a cross-section of several meters or even tens of meters. The horizontal prestressed steel tendons in the anchorage zone of tower columns in cable-stayed bridge replaced by prestressed CFRP sheets can not only facilitate construction and maintenance, but also have good fatigue resistance. The prestressed CFRP plate is used to reinforce the large-sized tower columns by using a specific device to tension the CFRP plate wrapped around the surface of the members.
