Stress transfer between FRP reinforcement and concrete

This thesis investigates gaps in the current understanding of some key aspects of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) members. There are four important issues have been investigated. Firstly, a novel pullout test was developed to investigate the stress transfer mecha...
