Despite the multiple advantages of externally bonded Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) to
strengthen and repair concrete structures, this technology presents a premature failure in the …

Spike anchors are one of the most promising techniques to prevent or delay debonding in
FRP reinforcement sheets. There are several parameters affecting the anchors' capacity …

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

Spike anchors are a promising way to enhance the maximum capacity and post-peak load-
strain response of externally-bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials for retrofitting …

Higher strains can be developed in fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites which are
bonded to the surfaces of concrete members if the FRP is anchored. Anchors made from …

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 …

The strengthening and repair of reinforced concrete (RC) civil infrastructure with externally
bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is an established technology. One of the …

Mechanical anchorage can enhance the strain capacity of externally bonded fibre-reinforced
polymer (FRP) composite plates which are used for the strengthening of concrete members …

To enhance the strain capacity of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) plates which have been
bonded onto reinforced concrete (RC) members for strengthening purposes, FRP anchors …

This paper presents the details of an experimental and analytical study that addresses the
influence of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) anchors upon the strength and behaviour of FRP …
