An advanced fiber sheet has been widely used for strengthening of the concrete structures due to its excellent properties such as high strength and light weight. Bond strength is very important in strengthening the concrete structures using an advanced fiber sheet. This research examines the bond behavior between fiber sheet and concrete, investigates the bond strength by the direct pull-out test and the tensile-shear test. To obtain the tensile-shear strength a double-face shear type bond test is conducted. The primary test variables are the types of concrete surface roughness (disk-grinding/chipping) and retrofitting methods (bonding/injection).
Thirty specimens were tested to evaluate the bond strength.
It is shown that the average bond strength between fiber sheet and concrete by the direct pull-out test and the tensile-shear test is 22.3∼23.1kgf/㎠ 17.92∼19.75kgf/㎠, respectively.
