Concrete structures are normally reinforced with steel tendons. In marine or chemical environment steel has its limitations. Replacing steel with FRP reinforcement has been practiced for many years but using basalt fiber reinforcement polymer tendons (BFRP) as a structural material is rather new. Tension strength of BFRP tendon is about twice the tension strength of steel reinforcement but the elastic modulus is only 40-50 GPa while steel has 200 GPa. Therefore elastic lengthening of BFRP tendons is much more than of steel and strain in tension zone of concrete structures will be over acceptable limits. To utilise the high tension strength of BFRP and prevent too much cracking of concrete, the tendons could be prestressed. This thesis pres...
