Abstract
The effectiveness of fastening of high-strength unidirectional CFRP/epoxy rods in potted anchors was investigated experimentally. The rods had splitted ends, in which duralumin wedges were glued. The experiments, performed for three types of contact between the composite rods and the potted material, showed that the most effective were full adhesion and adhesion-friction contacts, when the maximum load-carrying capacity of CFRP rods under tension could be reached. The full friction contact was ineffective because of the shear failure of CFRP rods inside the anchorage zone.
