The dual function of a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bar working as reinforcement and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) anode for reinforced concrete structures has been proposed and researched in this paper. The ICCP tests with different current densities and polarization durations were first conducted for the concrete with high chloride content. After the ICCP application, pull out tests were then performed to investigate the bond behaviors of CFRP bars. Experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the new-type ICCP system with the CFRP bar as the anode on corrosion protection. The ICCP system provided electrons to the steel bar continuously and brought the potential of the steel bar down to the immunity region. Under the anodic polarization with a large current density of 100 mA/m2, the CFRP bar-concrete interface presented acidification and the chemical adhesion on the interface was decreased significantly. However, for cases in the experiment, the ICCP application had an insignificant influence on the ultimate bond strength.

Carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer is used for strengthening of reinforced concrete structures with externally bonded reinforcement. This fiber has more strength and better deformation properties than steel. During glueing, the glue is absorbed in the surface layer of concrete. It changes physical and mechanical properties of concrete. This effect depends on the structure of concrete. Experimental investigations sustained absorbing of glue and strengthening of concrete. The rigidity between concrete and carbon fiber polymer layer is smaller in cracked zones. Shear deformations decrease rigidity and strength in a contact zone. The authors methods were investigated in fastening carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer to concrete. The efficiency of these methods was definited. Theoretical results are compared with experimental results.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been widely used to strengthen the deteriorated reinforced concrete structures due to their outstanding characteristics of light weight, high strength, as well as noncorrosion. A successful strengthening with the FRP composites would equip the existing structures with the prominent improvement in terms of the durability, ductility, and bearing capacity. Current studies indicate that a simple and reliable anchorage system for the FRP composites will help improve the performance of the strengthened structures both efficiently and economically. Up till now, various anchorage systems have been developed for the FRP composites. Therefore, it is necessary to select appropriate anchorage systems according to different needs and establish relevant design specifications. In view of the aforementioned objectives, this paper systematically summarizes the anchoring mechanism of anchorage systems for two commonly used FRP products (FRP laminates and FRP bars) in different strengthened systems. Additionally, a state-of-the-art review as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each anchorage system are presented. Finally, shortcomings in the current state of knowledge and recommendations beneficial to further study are put forward.
