Abstract

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets are used as externally bonded reinforcement for concrete structures to improve flexural and shear strength and confinement of concrete. The bond between CFRP sheets and concrete is important. It is the means for the transfer of stress between the concrete and CFRP in order to develop composite action. An experimental investigation was conducted in order to determine the effect of bonded length, concrete strength, and number of plies (stiffness) of CFRP sheets on bond. An analytical model was developed using this experimental data. The model is briefly discussed in terms of its application to design.
