Experimental Study on CFRP-to-Steel Bonded Interfaces under Quasi-Static Cyclic Loading

Flexural strengthening of steel beams using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates has gained popularity within the structural engineering community due to the many advantages it offers over traditional strengthening methods. Such advantages include ease of construction, resistance to corrosion, and minimal disruption to traffic. The interfacial shear stress transfer mechanism of the CFRP-to-steel bonded interface is critical to the...
