This paper presents an experimental programme aiming at studying the bond behaviour of
carbon-FRP (CFRP) for externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) systems mechanically …

The use of mechanical anchorage systems can delay or prevent premature failure of RC
structures with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (EB-FRP) laminates. This work …

The anchorage of externally bonded reinforcement is extremely important. Due to high shear
stress concentrations, premature failure is often initiated in the end zones. A non linear …

The effectiveness of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) external reinforcements is limited by
premature delamination from concrete. In recent years, various anchoring systems were …

Use of anchoring devices can be useful to avoid or delay end debonding failure in
reinforced concrete elements externally bonded with fiber-reinforced plastic materials. Many …

A large number of parameters are involved in the behaviour of fibre reinforced polymers
(FRP) anchors, which make it difficult to estimate the anchors' contribution to the anchored …

Failure of CFRP strengthening systems when applied to concrete structures is usually
typified by de-lamination of the CFRP from the concrete substrate. To prevent this type of …

Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) has become a very popular method of improving
the capacity of structural elements. Failure of CFRP strengthening systems when applied to …

A new carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) anchor is developed and tested to delay
debonding in reinforced concrete (RC) beams externally strengthened with FRP …

Interface failures represent a typical issue of FRP laminates externally applied to reinforced
concrete elements, due to high stress concentrations in the anchorage zone of most types of …
