The most recent report by ACI Committee 440 on externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer
(FRP) strengthening systems states that systems designed to mechanically anchor FRP …

Strengthening of concrete structures with CFRP sheet has emerged as one of the effective
techniques. However, the effectiveness of such strengthening system depends largely on …

This study investigated the influence of special anchoring holes on the bond-slip behavior
between CFRP composites and concrete. For this purpose, one hundred and forty-four …

During the last years it has been investigated a reinforcing technique based on introducing
carbon laminate (CFRP) strips into saw cuts made on the concrete cover of the element to …

This paper investigates the effectiveness of carbon fiber spike anchors as a means of
anchoring externally bonded (EB) fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and textile reinforced …

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) have gained popularity in upgrades of reinforced concrete
structural elements within the last decade because of their ease of application and high …

For the purpose of investigating the bond splitting behavior of continuous fiber reinforced
concrete (CFRC) members, two series of investigations were conducted. The first series was …

This paper presents an experimental study on the bond behavior of longitudinal
reinforcements in the hanging region (ie, the part of the beam outside the support) of a …

Understanding the transfer of force by bond between externally bonded fiber-reinforced
polymer (FRP) reinforcement and concrete is an important step in formulating good models …

Near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate strips are
used to increase the load-carrying capacity of concrete structures. This is done by inserting …
