Abstract: The tensile fatigue and bending fatigue behaviour of CFRP tendon adhesive anchorage system were tested under three kinds of stress levels and stress amplitudes. The tensile strength of CFRP tendon anchorage system was tested after two million fatigue cycles. And the stress relaxation of CFRP tendon anchorage system was studied. Test results show that the CFRP tendon anchorage system developed is stable and reliable. The anchorage system is free of any damage after two million tensile fatigue or bending fatigue cycles. The tensile strength of CFRP tendon after fatigue test is almost unchanged, and the modulus increase by 4.3% in average. The model for predicting stress relaxation of CFRP tendon anchorage system was proposed and agreed with the measured values. The error in predicting the stress relaxation rate of the anchorage system for 1000 hours is 4.64%. The testing program for stress relaxation of CFRP tendon was proposed, and the stress relaxation rate of the CFRP tendon for 1000 hours is 0.67%, which could effectively avoid the effect of anchor adhesive deformation.
