One of the most important characteristics of CFRP-strengthened concrete members is
their endurance in the operating environment. In the application of CFRP as an external
retrofitting technique, strength and performance of the system are directly influenced by
environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. However, the system should
also be able to withstand mechanical forces on it under varying long term environmental
conditions. Therefore, the evaluation of the effects of simultaneous exposure to both
mechanical stresses and environmental factors is a critical issue. This thesis contains detail numerical and experimental analysis on long-term bond performance of cfrp strengthened concrete members. [Author edited abstract].
