Abstract
The modes of failure observed in carbon-, PBO-, and glass-FRCM bond tests are fabric/matrix debonding, FRCM mortar/concrete debonding, and fabric rapture, respectively. The PBO- and glass-FRCM bond failure was more brittle than that of the carbon-FRCM counterpart. Among the three systems, the PBO-FRCM showed the highest FRCM/concrete bond. The bond capacity and the mode of failure were prone to the number of fabric plies and indeed bond length. Theoretically-predicted values for the FRCM bond capacity were obtained based on a proposed analytical model, and showed a reasonable agreement with the experimental results.
