Bond strength and effective bond length of FRP sheets/plates bonded to concrete considering the type of adhesive layer

Research Abstract
Recent experimental results of the FRP–concrete bonded joint using flexible adhesive showed that the most popular analytical models available in the literature underestimate the bond strength and the effective bond length of these experiments. Most of these existing models need to be modified to consider the type of adhesive layer. Consequently, the bond strength model proposed by Chen and Teng (2001) has been modified to consider the type of adhesive layer. An extensive database consisting of about 100 test results of FRP–concrete joint has been assembled to examine the validity of the proposed model taking the type of adhesive layer into consideration. The modified bond strength model is accurately capable of predicting the bond strength and the effective bond length.
