Experimental Study on the Bonding Behavior of GFRP-to-Brick Interface

Abstract:

The performance of the interface between FRP and masonry is one of the key factors affecting the behavior of the strengthened structure. A challenge is to better understand the potential failure modes, which are generally directly related to the interfacial behavior between the FRP composite and the masonry in masonry walls. In this research, the experimental program was focused on the bond behavior of GFRP strips externally bonded (EB) to brick masonry.
