The differences in mechanical and bond properties of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) bars when compared to those of traditional steel reinforcement for reinforced concrete (RC) structures may affect the cracking and deformability behaviour of FRP RC members. This study investigates the bond behaviour between FRP reinforcement and concrete through experimental and numerical analysis. Experimental results on pull-out tests and direct tension tests are presented and discussed. A general procedure, derived from a cracking analysis based on slip and bond stresses, is used to study the deformability of FRP RC elements under tension. The tension stiffening effect is included via experimental nonlinear bond-slip law obtained from a laboratory pull-out test. The comparison between experimental data and numerical predictions of the reinforcement strain profile along the reinforcing bar during a tensile test confirms that the bond-based model adequately reproduces the redistribution of stresses after crack formation. Because the numerical model is flexible enough to include any "user-defined" bond-slip law and variable materials' properties, a parametric study is conducted.

The repair of deteriorated, damaged and substandard civil infrastructures has become one of the most important issues for the civil engineer worldwide. This important book discusses the use of externally-bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to strengthen, rehabilitate and retrofit civil engineering structures, covering such aspects as material behaviour, structural design and quality assurance. The first three chapters of the book review structurally-deficient civil engineering infrastructure, including concrete, metallic, masonry and timber structures. FRP composites used in rehabilitation and surface preparation of the component materials are also reviewed. The next four chapters deal with the design of FRP systems for the flexural and shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams and the strengthening of RC columns. The following two chapters examine the strengthening of metallic and masonry structures with FRP composites. The last four chapters of the book are devoted to practical considerations in the flexural strengthening of beams with unstressed and prestressed FRP plates, durability of externally bonded FRP composite systems, quality assurance and control, maintenance, repair, and case studies. With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Strengthening and rehabilitation of civil infrastructures using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is a valuable reference guide for engineers, scientists and technical personnel in civil and structural engineering working on the rehabilitation and strengthening of the civil infrastructure. Reviews the use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structurally damaged and sub-standard civil engineering structures Examines the role and benefits of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in different types of structures such as masonry and metallic strengthening Covers practical considerations including material behaviour, structural design and quality assurance
