Assesment of Main Models for Predicting Debonding Load-Bearing Capacity against Intermediate Crack-Induced Debonding Failure in FRP-Strengthened RC Beams

Article Preview

Abstract:

intermediate crack-induced debondingis one of the most dominant failure modes in FRP-strengthened RC beams. Different code models and provisions have been proposed to mitigateintermediate crack-induced debondingfailure.However, these models and provisions can not mitigate this failure mode effectively. Recnetly, new models have been proposed to solve this problem. Out of all the existing models, four typical ones are investigated in the current study. A comprehensivecomparison among these models is carried out in order to evaluate their performance and accuracy. Test results offlexural specimens with intermediate crack-induced debonding failurecollected from the existing literature are used in the current comparison. The effectivenessand accuracy of each model have been evaluated based on these experimental results. It is shown that the current modals are all conservative and inadequite to effectively mitigate intermediate crack-induced debonding in flexurally strengthened members.
