This paper presents an experimental program conducted to investigate the flexural performance of RC beams with tension reinforcement lap splice strengthened using externally bonded FRP different techniques in splice region. The specimens were reinforced on the tension side with four deformed bars spliced at mid span. The tested beams are of 3200 mm total length and 250*120 mm cross section, tested in positive bending. The considered parameters were splice length, type of FRP (glass or carbon), strengthening techniques in splice region (externally confine strips around cross section, Near Surface Mounted technique "NSM" stirrups, externally bonded sheets or bars on the tension face, number of GFRP strips layers (one layer, two layers, and three layers), and shape of NSM stirrups (Box or U shape). No additional anchorage mechanism or bonding methodology was applied for the FRP strips on the concrete except the epoxy adhesive. The effect of these factors on the failure of modes, the ultimate load, the bond strength and that the ductility were investigated. The results indicated that all applied strengthening techniques were efficient in improving the bond strength of the lap splices, the ductility, and the load-deflection behavior of the tested beams, especially when strips were installed over the splice region. This study approved that NSM technique gave more prominent simplicity of employ.

This paper presents the results of a series of pullout tests that were performed on Glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars embedded in concrete, while providing a detailed report on the influence of various variables that impinge upon bond behavior, such as the surface characteristics and diameter of the bars, concrete strength, as well as the confined effect of stirrups. The Bertero-Popov-Eligehausen (BPE) and Cosenza-Manfredi-Realfonzo (CMR) models analyzed the bond stress (τ)–slip (s) relationship between GFRP bar and stirrups-confined concrete. The tests results indicate that when the bond failure interface only occurs on the surface of a GFRP bar, the bond strength is not dependent upon the concrete strength. Moreover, the results indicate that in comparison to specimens without stirrups, their stirrup-containing counterparts are more prone to pullout failure with greater ductility and higher bond strength and corresponding slip. The BPE and CMR models are able to investigate the τ-s relationship between GFRP bars and the stirrups-confined concrete with accuracy. With the experimental data, the specific parameters in the models classified by surface characteristics have been suggested.
