Experimental testing of CFRP-ECC hybrid for strengthening of concrete structures

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

This paper proposes a CFRP-ECC hybrid system for strengthening of concrete structures. This hybrid consists of CFRP composite embedded in the ECC matrix. CFRP functions as the main load-carrying element, while ECC acts as the adhesive layer for protecting the CFRP and transferring the load between the concrete structure and CFRP. In this paper, ECC was firstly developed which had a tensile strain capacity of 3%. Then pull-out tests were conducted to quantify the interface behavior between CFRP and ECC, and to obtain the effective bond length of CFRP.
