Experimental study on the interfacial shear stress of RC beams strengthened with prestressed BFRP rod

On the strengthening of concrete structures by externally bonding prestressed BFRP (basalt fiber reinforced polymer) rod, the release of the prestress may cause an interfacial shear stress concentrated at the prestressed BFRP ends which may cause BFRP prematurely debonding. In order to avoid this pr...
