Notes:
External bonding fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) to the tension faces of reinforcedconcrete (RC) beam as an effective approach of rehabilitation and strengthening of reinforcedstructures have attracted significant interests of researchers in the past decade. Since theload-carrying capacity of RC beams strengthened with the FRP is dominated by interfacialdelaminated failure, the anchorage strength in FRP to concrete bonded joints under shear and thedebonding stress transferring behavior at the end parts of flexural concrete members bonded withFRP have been deeply studied. Recently, methods of fracture mechanics have been introduced intoanalyzing the above issues. Compared with the traditional methods, the analytical models ofexisting fracture mechanics are reviewed and analyzed. Based on them the debonding bearingcapacity of FRP-strengthened RC beams is calculated and the corresponding finite element modelsare created. These models of fracture mechanics are then evaluated with the finite element resultsand the experimental data from author’s and the literature. Some conclusions with engineeringsignificance are drawn
