Abstract

The current research concerns with the effect of natural tropical climate on the flexural and interfacial bonding behavior of an externally bonded reinforced concrete beams by using carbon FRP. The various components of tropical climate combines with saltwater exposure may influence the structural and durability performance of FRP-epoxy-concrete system over long period of time. The results of FRP strengthened and conditioned beams demonstrated significant flexural improvement compared to control beams. The failure and the development interfacial stress in the bonded system were also evaluated.
