ABSTRACT: To solve the deficiency of steel anchor blot in corrosion resistance and flaw of GFRP anchor bolt in fracture resistance, our research group develops a new composite anchor bolt made of steel strands wrapped up with compound fiber resin. To improve the cohesion performance of the composite anchor bolt, pull-out tests of different composite anchor bolts with different groove intervals and depths were made and analyzed. The results show that the pulling resistance of the composite anchor bolt increases with the increase of groove interval and depth, but groove interval and depth have optimal value. Based on elastic mechanics, the cohesion between anchor bolts and anchor bodies and its distribution characteristics caused by axial tension are analyzed and cohesion formula is obtained. By contrast, the experimental result is consistent with the theoretical analysis. Therefore, the surficial change of anchor colts could influence the performance of the composite anchor bolt. The cohesion force and anchorage performance can be improved by changing the surface of anchor bolts. Research results show that the new composite anchor bolt is high-performance material in the civil engineering.
