Fatigue of CFRPs externally bonded to concrete
Abstract The external bonding of fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) to concrete beams is a particularly attractive rehabilitation technique for increasing or restoring the strength of existing reinforced concrete flexural members. The durability and the performance of FRP-strengthened structures subjected to cyclic loading depend directly on the fatigue behaviour of the FRP itself, as well as on that of the FRP-to-concrete interface. This paper aims at increasing the database on the fatigue behaviour of these types of reinforcement using two test set-ups developed in two distinct research laboratories. The primary purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology for the determination of the value of the allowable shear bond strength ($ f_{adh,v,u} $) and the tensile FRP strength ($ f_{f,u} $) as a function of the numbers of cycles of loading. Results from an experimental investigation on the cyclic behaviour of single-lap and double-lap CFRP-concrete joints are reported. For both types of test set-up, the cyclic bond stress-slip relations are presented and discussed. Analytical S-N relations (cyclic stress range vs. the number of cycles to failure) are proposed.
