An Experimental Study and Result Analysis on the Dynamic Effective Bond Length of a Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheet Attached to a Concrete Surface

A carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a common material utilized for the enhancement in reinforced concrete (RC) constructions. Previous research indicates that the bonding performance between a CFRP sheet and concrete determines whether the bonding of CFRP material is effective. However, the majority of existing research on the bonding performance of the CFRP–concrete interface is concentrated on static loading conditions. In order to clarify the effect of dynamic load on the bonding performance of the CFRP sheet–concrete interface, this study adopts the double-sided shear test method to carry out dynamic experimental research. The test findings reveal that the damage pattern of the CFRP sheet–concrete interface remains consistent across different loading rates. The ultimate bearing capacity increases as the strain rate increases. As the strain rate increases from 10−5 s−1 to 10−2 s−1, the effect of bond length on ultimate bearing capacity increases by about 7%. As the strain rate increases, both the maximum strain of CFRP and the maximum interfacial shear stress demonstrate a corresponding increase, with respective increase rates of 60% and 20%. The effective bond length decreases by about 20% when the strain rate rises from 10−5 s−1 to 10−2 s−1. Finally, a formula for calculating the dynamic effective bond length of a CFRP sheet, grounded in the Chen and Teng formula, has been proposed and verified.
