Abstract

A new empirical model for the prediction of bond strength between corrosion-cracked concrete and FRP sheets is proposed in this work. The model considers the impact of concrete-cracking level as well as the geometric characteristics of FRP sheets. Experimental data (from tests on reinforced concrete blocks underwent varying corrosion levels before attached to carbon FRP (CFRP) sheets at variable bond lengths and widths) is employed in the empirical modeling. Corrosion-induced cracks at widths of about 0.2–0.9 mm lead to reductions in bond strength and slippage at failure at ranges of 25–44% and 18–68%, respectively. The developed statistical model captures the correct trend for bond stress–slip relationship and precisely predicts bond characteristics between corroding concrete and CFRP sheets in terms of key parameters. The degradation parameters (incorporated in this model) confirmed those provided by the ACI committee 440 at ranges of 0.66–0.86 for bond strength and 0.63–0.89 for slip at ultimate bond stress. The prediction accuracy of the present model of published data shows the highest when compared with that of well-known published models.
