| Popis: | Today’s sustainable development policy in Europe, which is driven by concerns about the greenhouse effect and environmental protection, mandates a reduction in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The cement industry and steel mills that produce reinforcing bars are among the largest and most emissions-intensive sectors emitting CO2 into the atmosphere. This article analyzes the possibility of achieving significant reductions in CO2 emissions by using basalt bars (BFRP) and glass bars (GFRP) in concrete structures, and—in the case of concrete—by using cement with the addition of metakaolinite and zeolite. There is a lack of literature reports on whether modifying concrete with the additions of metakaolinite and zeolite as substitutes for part of the cement affects the adhesion of FRP bars to concrete. It can be assumed, however, that improving the microstructure of concrete also improves the contact zone between the bar and the concrete. The aim of this research is to fill the aforementioned gap in the literature data by determining how the presence of metakaolinite and zeolite affects the adhesion of reinforcing bars to concrete and testing selected properties of hardened concrete. The test samples were prepared following the appropriate beam test procedure. The obtained results made it possible to perform a comparative analysis of reference samples and those with metakaolinite and zeolite additions. The research showed that introducing active pozzolanic additives in the form of metakaolinite and zeolite into concrete improved adhesion stress values by approximately 20% for glass GFRP bars and 15% for basalt BFRP bars, especially in the destruction phase. |
