Abstract:
In this study, the results of tests on a series of six large-scale (6 metre long by 700 mm deep) CFRP
reinforced beams are reported. The experimental parameters include the level of pre-damage at the time of repair
and the concrete strength. Bond-slip measurements were taken between the concrete and the CFRP together with
extensive strain measurements on the CFRP and concrete surfaces. The CFRP-concrete soffit bond-slip data
collected together with other control data forms a valuable data set for verification of numerical models.
