Abstract:
A systematic literature review was conducted on pure tension strengthening of concrete structures using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), specifically for larger FRP tie applications. This work yielded a dataset of 1,627 direct tension tests, and highlighted the limitation of existing studies on studying thick and long FRP ties, which are typical in real construction scenarios. To overcome this shortcoming, 51 single lap shear tests were conducted on thicker and longer FRP ties, with the dimensions being 0.5 to 6 mm [0.02 to 0.24 in.] thickness, and 300 to 1,524 mm [12 to 60 in.] long. The critical parameters under consideration were concrete compressive strength, FRP thickness, and bond length. The findings demonstrate that thicker and therefore stiffer FRP ties have higher debond force capacity, while longer ties exhibit greater post-elastic deformation capacity but do not affect the debond force capacity. Concrete had a limited effect on either debond force or deformation capacity. A strength model is proposed for FRP systems under axial pure tension, which aligns well with both the published and tested results. This paper focuses on the development of design guidelines and codes to predict the debond strain for EB-FRP systems incorporating thicker and longer FRP ties, aiming to enhance the applicability of FRP to real-world construction scenarios.
