Analytical and experimental investigation on bond behavior of CFRP-to-stainless steel interface

Steel structures using stainless steel are recently accepted as more sustainable and durable systems. Although much research has been conducted on steel structures strengthened by carbon fiber-reinforcement polymer (CFRP) material, these steel structures are often made of conventional mild steel and thus existing prediction and analysis specified for mild steel cannot be directly extended for that of stainless steel. Therefore, this study aims...
