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 brief overview of anchorage systems is dealt with introducing experimental tests on eight
types of end fixing for reinforced polymers (FRP) sheets glued on RC elements. Particular …

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

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

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 …

In this study, strain distributions and the bond slip behaviors at the carbon fiber reinforced
polymer (CFRP) strips and reinforced concrete interface were investigated. 14 concrete …

Delamination phenomena between fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strips and concrete
support are investigated on the basis of single lap shear tests. To capture a stable post-peak …

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 …

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 …

Externally bonded (EB) carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips can be used to
increase load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) elements or to improve …
