    Abstract

    Pure adhesive bond of FRP to concrete is not only weak but also unpredictable in a long term. This problem can be effectively overcome by a newly developed bond enhancement system - the hybrid bonded FRP system (HB-FRP) - in which small mechanical fasteners are used to augment the bond. In this paper, experimental testing and theoretical modeling are reported for characterization of the interfacial bond of the HB-FRP system. Local bond-slip model involving adhesive and mechanical mechanisms is proposed. Based on the basic bond-slip model, load-slip response, ultimate bond strength, and effective bond length of the HB-FRP bond interface are obtained by analytical or numerical solution. Good agreement between the analytical and experimental results indicates that the proposed bond-slip model can well predict bond behaviors of HB-FRP joints.
