For the last 20 years, carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) have been widely used in the retrofitting and strengthening of structures with inadequate earthquake performance. One of the most important design criteria in retrofitting and strengthening details developed with CFRP is delaying the debonding of CFRP strips from the surface. For this reason, the use of anchors in reinforcement details...
Strengthening is often required for reinforced concrete, steel, and masonry structures or structural elements when they possess insufficient performance against external loads such as earthquakes. Recently, the use of carbon fiber‐reinforced polymers (CFRP) has been considered a viable strengthening technique alternative to traditional methods. The major concern is premature debonding failure hindering...
