Abstract
⺠Global-energy-balance-based Fracture Mechanics can predict FRP plate debonding. ⺠Strain energy can be calculated using a modified form of Branson's equation. ⺠Fracture Energy of concrete depends on compressive strength and the aggregate type. ⺠Values for Fracture Energy can be assumed if not quoted. ⺠The predictions agree well with experimental results reported in the literature.
