Fiber-reinforced polymer anchors and connectors for repair and strengthening of structures configured for field testing, and assemblies for field testing the same

A fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) test anchor configured for field testing, the FRP test anchor comprising:

• an FRP anchor comprising a plurality of rovings extending from a first end of the FRP test anchor to an opposite second end of the FRP test anchor;
• a pair of metal plates at the second end of the FRP test anchor;
• FRP rovings wrapped around the metal plates;
• wherein the first end of the FRP test anchor comprises a cured end portion of the plurality of rovings of the FRP anchor;
• wherein the plurality of rovings are splayed in a plane as the plurality of rovings extend from the cured end portion toward the second end of the FRP test anchor;
• wherein the metal plates are disposed at opposite sides of the plane of the splayed rovings;
• wherein the metal plates are cured to the splayed rovings;
• wherein the FRP rovings are wrapped entirely around the metal plates and the splayed rovings that are clamped between the metal plates;
• wherein the metal plates are configured to couple the FRP test anchor with a field test system;
• and
• wherein the metal plates are configured to permit the field test system to measure tensile strength of the FRP anchor.
