Abstract
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 for predicting debonding failures observed in externally bonded reinforcement strengthened systems. In this paper, a 3D optical displacement measurement system was used to capture the full-field displacements from the front and side view in pull-off bond specimens. The experiments were carried using six specimens with carbon FRP (CFRP) strips having different axial stiffnesses but a constant bond length to the concrete substrate. Using the optical measurements, it was possible to obtain the in-plane displacement or slip and the out-of-plane displacement or separation between the CFRP strip and the concrete. It was demonstrated, that the usual assumption of pure shear stresses in such pull-off tests is not true and that the bond behavior is a two-dimensional problem involving shear and peeling stresses. The bond behavior in CFRP stri...This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
