4、.2 Linear elements used for reinforcing Portland cementconcrete are referred to as bars, rebar, rods, or tendons,depending on the specific application. This test method isapplicable to all such reinforcements within the limitationsnoted in the method. The test articles are referred to as bars inthis
5、 test method. In general, bars have solid cross-sections anda regular pattern of surface undulations and/or a coating ofbonded particles that promote mechanical interlock betweenthe bar and concrete. The test method is also appropriate foruse with linear segments cut from a grid. Specific details fo
6、rpreparing and testing of bars and grids are provided. In somecases, anchors may be necessary to prevent grip-induceddamage to the ends of the bar or grid. Recommended details forthe anchors are provided in Annex A1.1.3 The strength values provided by this method are short-term static strengths that
7、 do not account for sustained static orfatigue loading. Additional material characterization may berequired, especially for bars that are to be used under highlevels of sustained or repeated loading.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard
8、. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4.1 Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown inbrackets.1.5 This standard does
9、not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method
28、4.1 A fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bar, preferably fittedwith anchors, is mounted in a mechanical testing machine andmonotonically loaded in tension to failure while recordingforce, longitudinal strain, and longitudinal displacement.4.2 Anchors as described in Annex A1 are recommendedbut not requi
29、red. Alternative methods for attaching the speci-mens to the testing machine are acceptable, but must allow forthe full strength of the bar to be developed and for the failureof the specimens to occur away from the attachments.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to produce longit
30、udinaltensile strength and elongation data. From a tension test, avariety of data are acquired that are needed for designpurposes. Material-related factors that influence the tensileresponse of bars and should therefore be reported include thefollowing: constituent materials, void content, volume pe
31、rcentreinforcement, methods of fabrication, and fiber reinforcementarchitecture. Similarly, test factors relevant to the measuredtensile response of bars include specimen preparation, speci-men conditioning, environment of testing, specimen alignmentand gripping, and speed of testing. Properties, in
32、 the testdirection, that may be obtained from this test method include:5.1.1 Ultimate tensile strength,5.1.2 Ultimate tensile strain,5.1.3 Tensile chord modulus of elasticity, and5.1.4 Stress-strain curve.6. Interferences6.1 The results from the procedures presented are limited tothe material and te
33、st factors listed in Section 5.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.D7205/D7205M 06 (2016)26.2 GrippingThe method of gripping has been known tocause premature tensile failures in bars. Anchors, if used,should be designed in such a way that the full tens
34、ile capacitycan be achieved without slip throughout the length of theanchor during the test.6.3 System AlignmentExcessive bending may cause pre-mature failure, as well as a highly inaccurate modulus ofelasticity determination. Every effort should be made to elimi-nate bending from the test system. B
35、ending may occur due tomisalignment of the bar within anchors or grips or associatedfixturing, or from the specimen itself if improperly installed inthe grips or if it is out-of-tolerance due to poor specimenpreparation. See ASTM E1012 for verification of specimenalignment under tensile loading.6.4
36、Measurement of Cross-Sectional AreaThe nominalcross-sectional area of the bar is measured by immersing aprescribed length of the specimen in water to determine itsbuoyant weight. Bar configurations that trap air during immer-sion (aside from minor porosity) cannot be assessed using thismethod. This
37、method may not be appropriate for bars that havelarge variations in cross-sectional area along the length of thebar.7. Apparatus7.1 MicrometersThe micrometer(s) shall use a suitablesize diameter ball-interface on irregular surfaces and a flatanvil interface on machined edges or very-smooth tooledsur
38、faces. The accuracy of the instruments shall be suitable forreading to within 1 % of the intended measurement.7.2 Testing MachineThe testing machine shall be in con-formance with Practice E4, and shall satisfy the followingrequirements:7.2.1 Testing Machine HeadsThe testing machine shallhave both an
39、 essentially stationary head and a movable head.7.2.2 Drive MechanismThe testing machine drive mecha-nism shall be capable of imparting to the movable head acontrolled displacement rate with respect to the stationaryhead. The displacement rate of the movable head shall becapable of being regulated a
40、s specified in 11.3.7.2.3 Force IndicatorThe testing machine force-sensingdevice shall be capable of indicating the total force beingcarried by the specimen. This device shall be essentially freefrom inertia-lag at the specified rate of testing and shallindicate the force with an accuracy over the l
41、oad range(s) ofinterest of within 6 1 % of the indicated value, as specified byPractices E4. The force range(s) of interest may be fairly lowfor modulus evaluation, much higher for strength evaluation, orboth, as required.NOTE 2Obtaining precision force data over a large range of interest inthe same
42、 test, such as when both elastic modulus and ultimate force arebeing determined, place extreme requirements on the force transducer andits calibration. For some equipment a special calibration may be required.For some combinations of material and force transducer, simultaneousprecision measurement o
43、f both elastic modulus and ultimate strength maynot be possible, and measurement of modulus and strength may have to beperformed in separate tests using a different force transducer range foreach test.7.2.4 GripsIf grips are used, each head of the testingmachine shall carry one grip for holding the
44、specimen so thatthe loading direction is coincident with the longitudinal axis ofthe specimen. The grips shall apply sufficient lateral pressure toprevent slippage between the grip face and the specimen oranchor. It is highly desirable to use grips that are rotationallyself-aligning to minimize bend
45、ing stresses in the specimen.The grips shall be aligned in accordance with ASTM E1012and shall not bias failure location in the bar.7.3 AnchorsUse of a rigid pipe-shaped anchor as aninterface between the bar and the grips or loading head of thetesting machine is recommended to prevent stress concent
46、ra-tions and consequent downward biasing of measured strength.Details of recommended anchors are provided in Annex A1.7.3.1 Attachment of anchors to loading heads shall be bythreaded connectors between the anchors and loading head orby grips. Details of this attachment are shown in Fig. A1.3.7.4 Str
47、ain-Indicating DeviceLongitudinal strain shall bemeasured by an appropriate strain transducer as long asattachment of this device does not cause damage to the bar (seeNote 3).NOTE 3For most bars the application of surface-bonded strain gagesis impractical due to surface undulations (for example, bra
48、ided, twisted,and indented bars). Strain gages of a suitable gage length can be used ifthe surface of the bar can be smoothed with a polymer resin such as epoxyto provide a suitable bonding surface so that measurements are equivalentto those provided by an extensometer meeting the requirements of se
49、ction7.4.1.7.4.1 ExtensometersExtensometers shall satisfy, at aminimum, Practice E83, Class B-2 requirements for the strainrange of interest, and shall be calibrated over that strain rangein accordance with Practice E83. The extensometer shall beessentially free of inertia-lag at the specified speed of testing.The gage length of the extensometer, Lg, shall be not less thaneight times the effective bar diameter, nor less than onerepresentative length. The extensometer shall be centered onthe mid-length position of the bar, not less than eight effectiveb
