Experimental and Numerical Study on the Use of Patch Anchors in Strengthening Concrete Slabs
Externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems are used to improve the flexural performance of reinforced concrete members. However, premature debonding, particularly intermediate crack-induced (IC) debonding, limits CFRP utilization and may lead to sudden failure. This study experimentally and numeri...
