Determination of tensile strength of glass fiber straps

Glass fibers straps have been used for strengthening of masonry and concrete structures in the last decade. Recently, their use has become greater. This paper describes the research of measuring tensile strength of dry glass fiber straps as well as straps that were made of glass fibers and epoxy coating. The effect of strap widths, the effect of loading speeds and the effect of epoxy coating placed on fiber straps, on tensile strength of straps have been analyzed. Differences of tension strengths of fiber straps with and without epoxy coating are shown.
