Following that, two determinants of the debonding ultimate bearing capacity of FRP-Concrete Interface under pure shear are introduced into this study, namely fracture-resisting force at the undamaged area and friction stress transferred along the already debonded surface. The authors deduced the formulae on fracture energy for FRP-Concrete Interface and obtained the values for fracture energy and friction stress at FRP-Concrete Interface based on the experimental results of eight specimens of FRP-Concrete Interface. On the basis of theoretical frame mentioned above, the authors concluded that the friction-resisting stress transferred along the deteriorated bi-material interface is independent of length of FRP bonded onto concrete substrates and concrete strength, but it relies on the tension rigidity （i.e., the layers of the bonding FRP, it is found that the friction stress declines substantially while the layers of FRP increases bonded to concrete substrate）. On the contrary, cohesive fracture energy is dependent on length of FRP bonded to concrete substrate and the tension stiffness of bi-material interface. In addition, the percentage of the fracture-resisting force in the ultimate debonding load at the interface decreases with the bonding length of FRP increasing, but increases with the increase of the layers of the FRP.展开更多

Interface fracture properties were evaluated with established data reduction procedures. The proposed test method is primarily for use in evaluating the effects of freeze-thaw （F-T） and wet-dry （W-D） cycles that are the accelerated aging protocols on the mode-I fracture of carbon FRP-concrete bonded interfaces. The results of the mode-I fracture tests of F-T and W-D cycle-conditioned specimens show that both the critical load and fracture energy decrease as the number of cycles increases, and their degradation pattern has a nearly linear relationship with the number of cycles. However, compared with the effect of the F-T cycles, the critical load and fracture energy degrade at a slower rate with W-D cycles, which suggests that F-T cyclic conditioning causes more deterioration of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer （CFRP）-concrete bonded interface. After 50 and 100 conditioning cycles, scaling of concrete was observed in all the specimens subjected to F-T cycles, but not in those subjected to W-D cycles. The examination of interface fracture surfaces along the bonded interfaces with varying numbers of F-T and W-D conditioning cycles shows that （1） cohesive failure of CFRP composites is not observed in all fractured surfaces; （2） for the control specimens that have not been exposed to any conditioning cycles, the majority of interface failure is a result of cohesive fracture of concrete （peeling of concrete from the concrete substrate）, which means that the cracks mostly propagate within the concrete; and （3） as the number of F-T or W-D conditioning cycles increases, adhesive failure along the interface begins to emerge and gradually increases.
