This paper presents a study on the anchorage capacity of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer
(CFRP) strips bonded to a cementitious substrate used for concrete surface reprofiling. The …

There is significant concern in the engineering community regarding the safety and
effectiveness of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening of RC structures because of …

Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) are currently one of the leading materials used
to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) structures against various loading actions such as …

Strengthening and repair of concrete structures using externally bonded fiber reinforced
polymer (FRP) composite sheets has been popular around the world during the last two …

Using CFRP anchors to prevent the premature debonding failure of CFRP strips from
concrete substrate is gaining acceptance. Although adequate CFRP anchors can fully …

In this study, the effect of the number of applied anchorages, arrangement, and types of
anchorage on stress distribution between the CFRP strip and the concrete surface were …

The objective of this paper is to define a rigorous numerical method to calibrate parameters
of a given local bond-slip relationship using experimental results of pullout tests, taking into …

This paper reports the results of an experimental program to investigate the bonding
behavior of two different types of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems for strengthening …

The effectiveness of strengthening techniques employing FRP relies on the adhesion
between the FRP plate/sheet and the concrete surface of the element to be strengthened …

The work presented here forms a part of a larger effort carried out at the University of Alberta
to investigate rehabilitation of existing reinforced concrete structures with externally bonded …
