1、Designation:D7337/D7337M12Standard Test Method forTensile Creep Rupture of Fiber Reinforced Polymer MatrixComposite Bars1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7337/D7337M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision
2、,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method outlines requirements for tensile creeprupture testing of fiber reinforced polymer matrix(FRP
3、)composite bars commonly used as tensile elements inreinforced,prestressed,or post-tensioned concrete.1.2 Data obtained from this test method are used in designof FRP reinforcements under sustained loading.The procedurefor calculating the one-million hour creep-rupture capacity isprovided in Annex A
4、1.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.Within the text,theinch-pound units are shown in brackets.The values stated ineach system are not exact equivalents;therefore,each systemmust be used independently of the other.Combining valuesfro
