This paper presents a study on the interfacial behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets when applied to concrete members as external reinforcement. Two bond test methods that are detailed in the paper were used in separate test series to study the bond behavior and failure mechanism of CFRP sheets bonded to concrete. A modified push-apart test method was proposed and tested. It was concluded that there existed an effective length beyond which there will be no increase in the ultimate capacity of the joint. An experimental test method to determine the effective bond length was also proposed and tested. The strains at the edge of the CFRP sheets are consistently higher than those at the center. The anchorage requirements for the CFRP sheets were also investigated in this study. Anchor sheets placed at 90° to the primary test sheets and bonded underneath the tested sheet showed better or equivalent overall bond behavior compared with those bonded on top of the tested sheet. The distance at which the anchor sheet is placed from the crack does not appear to change the bond behavior.Key words: bond, concrete, debonding, failure mechanism, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets, anchor sheets.

Auxetic Structure

In recent years, three-dimensional auxetic structures have attracted great interest. Generally, three-dimensional auxetic structures are of complicate geometries which make them difficult to fabricate, benefiting from the development of additive manufacturing technologies, many three-dimensional auxetic structures can be made from metals or polymers. However, to the authors' knowledge, the additive manufacturing technology of fiber reinforced polymer is not fully developed, and none three-dimensional auxetic structure made from fiber reinforced polymer has been reported before. To integrate the high specific stiffness, high specific strength, and light weight merits of high-performance fiber reinforced polymer composites into three-dimensional auxetic structures with unique properties, research on composite three-dimensional auxetic structures made from fiber reinforced polymer should be conducted. This paper presents the composite three-dimensional re-entrant auxetic structures made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates using an interlocking assembly method. The auxetic nature of the composite structure has been verified by experimental testing and finite element simulations. Based on the finite element models, the dependences of the Poisson's ratio and effective compression modulus of the composite auxetic three-dimensional re-entrant structure on the re-entrant angle have been studied and compared to metal three-dimensional re-entrant structure. A comparative study of the Poisson's ratio and specific stiffness of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite auxetic structure with the three-dimensional printed polymer and metal auxetic structures in literature has also been conducted.

Flexural capacity of RC beams gets significant improvement with externally bonded Carbon Fiber-reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheet. The anchorage system is a valid means to restrain or delay debonding failure caused by stress concentration at the ends of CFRP sheets. In this paper, four RC beams, measuring 150 × 200 × 1900 mm, were examined under four-point bending test. One beam was applied for contrast. And other three were CFRP strengthened with no anchorage, CF anchors (carbon fiber anchors) and U-wraps (U-shaped CFRP wraps). The primary purpose of the experiment was to validate the effectiveness of CF anchors and U-wraps in improving the flexure character of beams strengthened with CFRP sheets. The experimental results revealed that the strengthened beams using anchorage systems performed remarkably in beam ductility, flexural capacity, load-deflection response and failure mode compared with the contrast beam. The anchorage systems were more effective and necessary to enhance the flexural behavior of beams as using CFRP laminates for flexural strengthening.
