Durability of GFRP-concrete adhesively bonded connections: Experimental and numerical studies

In order to overcome the main mechanical drawbacks of GFRP profiles, namely their high deformability and proneness to instability phenomena, several GFRP-concrete hybrid solutions comprising bonded connections with epoxy adhesive have been proposed. Although being able to provide almost full interaction at the GFRP-concrete interface(s) (at least in the short-term), there is very little information about the durability of such connection...
