Abstract text:
One of the most recent development directions of composite materials that are used in the civil engineering industry consists in applying these materials in the strengthening applications of metallic elements. This paper presents some particularities of the failure process for adhesively bonded joints between carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) composite products and steel elements. The specific outcomes presented in this paper are part of the results obtained by carrying out a complex experimental program at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Building Services of Iaşi, which focused on the bond behaviour between CFRP composite products and steel.
Key Words:
CFRP-to-steel adhesive bonds; single lap shear joints; bond behaviour; failure mechanism
