Monotonic and quasi-static cyclic bond response of CFRP-to-steel joints after salt fog exposure

TL;DR: In this article, monotonic and quasi-static cyclic loading were applied to CFRP-to-steel double strap joints for two kinds of CFRP laminates after being aged for a period of 5000h to evaluate the bond behavior.

Durability of bond in NSM CFRP-concrete systems under different environmental conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the durability of bond between concrete and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips installed according to the near-surface mounted (NSM) technique, under the effects of two main groups of environmental conditions: (i) laboratory-based ageing conditions; (ii) real outdoor ageing conditions.

Composites and FRP-Strengthened Beams Subjected to Dry/Wet and Salt Fog Cycles

TL;DR: In this article, a study of fiber-reinforced composites of epoxy matrix is presented, with a greater emphasis on fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) with accelerated conditioning in the form of salt fog cycles, hygrothermal cycles, and tidal-like cycles.

Insights on the adhesive properties and debonding mechanism of CFRP/concrete interface under sulfate environment: From experiments to molecular dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of sulfate on the adhesion of the CFRP/concrete interface is investigated by combination of experiments and molecular dynamics simulation, and it is shown that the debonding between CFRP and concretes generally results from the adhesive failure at the epoxy/constructed interface.

Durability Gap Analysis for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites in Civil Infrastructure

TL;DR: The lack of a comprehensive, validated, and easily accessible data base for the durability of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites as related to civil infrastructure applications has been identified as a critical barrier to widespread acceptance of these materials by structural designers and civil engineers as discussed by the authors.
