Abstract
This project sought to examine the performance of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars
in post-installed anchorage of beam-column joints. Post-installing is a common and often
preferable method of making structural concrete connections in buildings and other structures as
the system offers much flexibility. Some applications include cantilever beams, slab widening,
and diaphragm wall construction. Post-installing requires little installation time, can be installed
in many orientations, and is serviceable shortly after installation (Hilti, 2011). The method
involves drilling a hole in a hardened concrete member and anchoring a bar of some type into the
hole. Most commonly, an adjacent member is cast around the post-installed bar. In other cases,
fixtures are attached to the post-installed bar such as hand rails or window framing systems.
Regardless of the application, the connection of the bar to the adjoining concrete in a drilled hole
is the critical link for post-installed connections.

Description
University Honors Capstone Project Paper and Poster and Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), University of Minnesota Duluth, 2017. Matt McDermott authored paper and poster; Dr. Ben Dymond authored poster. Advisor: Dr. Ben Dymond. This Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program project was performed during the Spring of
2017 at the University of Minnesota Duluth Civil Engineering Department under the advisement
of Dr. Ben Dymond. The project serves as a subset of work to be used by a M.S. student,
Muhammad Bajwa, in the Civil Engineering graduate program. Accordingly, Mr. Bajwa worked
alongside Matthew McDermott throughout many stages of the project as an integral team
member.
