Abstract: Concrete beams retrofitted with bonded fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) plates often fail by debonding of the plate from the concrete surface. To predict the failure load in design, a proper debonding model is required. As ...

Abstract: For concrete beams and slabs, the bonding of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) plates to the bottom surface is an effective and efficient technique for flexural strengthening. Failure of strengthened members often occurs due ...
