Erratum: Design against premature peeling failure of RC beams with externally bonded steel or FRP plates Free

Further to the publication of this paper (Magazine of Concrete Research, 2001, 53 (4), 251–262), the following amendments should be made.

1. In the notation:

   • total concrete compression force is F_cc (and not F_co as printed in the paper)

   • y₁ is the distance above the neutral axis at which the concrete compressive strain is equal to β (i.e. y₁ = (β/ε_c)y)

2. Equation (13b) should read:

   $Mc=0·335fcub(y2−y12)+y2b(Ecβ33εc2+0·67fcu−Ecβ4εc2β2)$

   (13b)

3. Equation (13c) should read:

   $Mpeel−p=0·335fcub(y2−y12)+y2b(Ecβ33εc2+0·67fcu−Ecβ4εc2β2)+As′fs′(y−d′)+Asfs(d−y)+Apσs(min)(D−y)$

   (13c)

4. Equation (16) should read:

   $a=Asfs+Apσs(min)−As′fs′bfc$

   (16)

5. In Fig. 11, the depth of the uniform concrete stress block is equal to a.

Finally, it should be noted that all the numerical results presented in the paper are based on the correct version of the equations as presently given.
