Epoxy/glass fibres composites for civil applications: Comparison between thermal and microwave crosslinking routes

Pull-out strength determination of all investigated epoxy composite systems joined to three different supports: a conventional concrete (CC), an artificial aggregate concrete (AAC) and a geopolymer (G), are performed to highlight their potential use for civil engineering applications. The experimental findings further support the use of microwave cured FRP samples especially with respect to the CC support.
