...Sourav Singh Sumberia; Akshay Sharma; A. B. Danie Roy; Kaizad Engineer; Manpreet Singh; C. Shermi External bonding with fibre-reinforced polymer ( FRP ) laminates is widely employed for strengthening and retrofitting concrete structures. However, exposure to high temperatures can degrade concrete...

...Mohammad Kazem Sharbatdar, PhD; Ali Rostamian, MSc; Ali Kheyroddin, PhD; Khaled Sennah, PhD Pull-out tests were conducted to assess the bond stresses between two different sizes of steel bars and normal concrete (NC) and self-compacting concrete (SCC) with and without steel fibres (SFs...

...Bin Cai, PhD; Jun Tong, BSc; Feng Fu, PhD, MBA, FICE To investigate the bond properties of concrete reinforced with fibre-reinforced-polymer bars (FRPBs) under different loads, FRPB-reinforced concrete specimens were subjected to pull-out tests. Three types of FRPBs were used in the experiment...

...Lei Wang, PhD; Junwen Chen, MPhil; Ni Shen, MPhil; Feng Fu, PhD, MBA, CEng, FICE, FIStructE, FASCE, FHEA Understanding the bonding stress distribution and reinforcement strain distribution between steel and carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer composite bars and concrete is essential to the design...

..., the stress of the longitudinal CFRP reinforcements in all specimens was quite low. The maximum stress of the CFRP bars in the columns was 105.78 MPa, just 23.5% of the ultimate compressive strength of the CFRP reinforcement. The superior bond between the CFRP bars and coral concrete conformed...
