Some Considerations about the Effects of the Bonding Length on the Effectiveness of Spike Anchors in CFRP Reinforcements of Masonry

Abstract:

The main results of an experimental program concerning masonry pillars reinforced by CFRP strips (also provided by spike anchors) subjected to single lap shear tests are described in this paper. The experimental results, also compared with a previous experimental program, allowed to analyze the increment of bearing capacity produced by spike anchors to CFRP sheets having different bonding length.
