<p>Creep behavior of the epoxy resin anchor for CFRP sheet embedded in concrete was studied. Creep tests in 20°C and 40°C with the sustained loads of 3.0kN and 4.5kN were conducted for 42 days (1000 hours), where 3.0kN corresponded to the design load for the anchor. As a result, it was found that the creep displacement in the 40°C test was very large at the beginning of loading compared to the 20°C test. The glass transition temperature, Tg, was assumed to be the reason for the large creep displacement in the 40°C test. Therefore, Tg, tensile strength, and tensile modulus of elasticity were measured with various curing conditions for the epoxy resin. The measured Tg was 41°C with 23°C-7days curing and it increased up to 57°C for 7 days in case the curing temperature was increased from 23°C to 40°C. In addition, it was found that the tensile strength and the tensile modulus of elasticity showed linear relationship with Tg in the range of 41°C to 57°C, and the tensile modulus of elasticity in 40°C was 40% of that in 20°C when Tg was 45°C. The curing condition for 45°C of Tg was equivalent to the beginning of the 40°C creep test. Thus, it was concluded that the reason for the large displacement in the 40°C creep test was because Tg was relatively close to the test temperature.</p>
