Axial tensile tests and simple-shear tests were conducted to investigate the anti-fracture property of the Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Girds Reinforcing Ultra-High Performance Concrete (BFGRU) reinforcement system and its interface bonding performance with existing concrete. The experimental results demonstrate that the BFRP (Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer) grids embedded in UHPC as a reinforcing material can enhance the anti-fracture property of UHPC, with an ultimate tensile load increase of up to 102%. The bonding performance between the BFGRU reinforcement system and the existing concrete interface is satisfactory. The optimal bonding reinforcement scheme of the BFGRU reinforcement system was proposed through an orthogonal experimental design and the Grey Relational Analysis. This scheme involves embedding BFRP grids with a grid size of 25 mm in UHPC material and covering the whole area to be reinforced. The results can serve as a foundation for the application of the BFGRU reinforcement system in bridge-reinforcing engineering.
