Fracture mechanics of plate debonding

This paper presents a fracture mechanics model to determine the load at which FRP plates will debond from reinforced concrete beams. This will obviate the need for finite-element analyses to be used in situations where there is an infinite stress concentration and where the exact details of the inte...
