Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcements can be used as shear friction connectors at the interface of concrete composite elements to maintain structural integrity. However, the shear friction mechanism at the interface greatly depends on the interface condition and the stiffness of the reinforcement crossing the interface plane. A total of 18 GFRP-reinforced concrete (RC) push-off specimens were constructed and tested until failure under monotonic load. The test parameters included the shear plane condition (roughened or not roughened, cold joints and monolithic), type (steel and GFRP), and ratio (0.24%–0.47%) of reinforcement crossing the shear plane. Roughening the interface had a little effect on the overall behavior and shear capacity of the specimen. Conversely, the monolithic specimens carried approximately 60% higher load than their cold-joint counterparts; nevertheless, the failure was more brittle. The capacity prediction by the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code showed conservative results. By contrast, the predictions of the American Concrete Institute’s model for steel-RC elements overestimated the test results for cold-joint and monolithic specimens with reinforcement ratios of 0.43% or higher.
