Recently, laminates of multi-directional carbon fiber reinforced polymers (MDL-CFRP) have been developed for Civil Engineering applications. A MDL-CFRP laminate has fibers in distinct directions that can be arranged in order to optimize stiffness and/or strength requisites. These laminates can be conceived in order to be fixed to structural elements with anchors, resulting high effective strengthening systems. To evaluate the strengthening potentialities of this type of laminates, pullout tests were carried out. The influence of the number of anchors, their geometric location and the applied pre-stress are analyzed. The present work describes the carried-out tests and presents and analyzes the most significant obtained results.

This paper describes a straightforward method for the design and certification of adhesively bonded composite to steel joints for the marine industry. Normally, certification is based on documented service at sea. Since these joints have not been previously deployed at sea, no data on their performance exist. Using an integrated combination of mechanical property evaluation and finite element modeling, the load- bearing capacity of a joint can be compared with the anticipated seaway loads. Calculated factors of safety for the sandwich design used here show that the joint has adequate strength to maintain structural integrity even after severe environmental exposure.
