Long Term In-situ Bond Behavior of Externally Bonded Fiber Reinforced Polymer Laminates Subjected to Environmental Conditioning
Abstract
As the infrastructure in the United States of America (U.S.A) begins aging, the development of different strengthening techniques have occurred. One strengthening application is the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate sheets. These sheets offer a variety of advantages including low weight to strength ratios and a high tensile capacity. A concern with CFRP is the load transfer to the concrete member. The bond between the CFRP and concrete is a critical component to the overall performance of the structure. This paper discusses the long-term in-situ bond behavior of CFRP laminates installed in low flexural regions of concrete members.
