The Methodology for Testing the Bond Between FRP Reinforcement and Concrete Under the Influence of High Temperatures and Fire

Abstract

The determination and understanding of the bond strength between FRP reinforcement and concrete, which ensures the mutual interaction of these materials, are indispensable for the proper, safe, and reliable design of concrete structures with internal reinforcement. This characteristic also serves as a fundamental parameter for designing the anchorage length of the reinforcement.

While it is one of the fundamental characteristics, there is no domestic or international standards defining the procedure for testing and determining the influence of high temperatures and fire on the bond strength between FRP reinforcement and concrete.
