In recent years, externally bonded carbon fibre–reinforced polymer has been considered an innovative way to strengthen steel structures attributed to its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance and fatigue performance. This article presents an experimental and numerical study on the fatigue behaviour of defected steel beams strengthened with carbon fibre–reinforced polymer laminates, with a special focus on the effect of interfacial debonding. Analytical modelling and numerical simulation confirmed that the interfacial debonding had a pronounced effect on carbon fibre–reinforced polymer strain and stress intensity factor at the crack front. After introducing interfacial debonding from experimental findings into the numerical analysis, the fatigue life and crack propagation versus cycle numbers of the specimens compared well with the test results. Based on the current experimental program, specimens with Sikadur 30 were more prone to debonding failure; therefore, Araldite 420 is suggested for strengthening schemes.

Much research has been conducted in the past decade to evaluate the suitability of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in concrete structures. Most of the research has concentrated on the short-term performance of FRP prestressed and reinforced concrete beams. Only a limited amount of research has considered the fatigue behaviour of FRP prestressed beams. This paper presents an experimental research program designed to examine the fatigue behaviour of unbonded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) post-tensioned concrete beams. The fatigue test program consisted of five large-scale (4.0 m span) concrete T-beams. Three of the beams were post-tensioned with CFRP tendons, and the remaining two beams were post-tensioned with steel prestressing strands. The fatigue load limits were chosen to produce an additional stress range of about 100 MPa in the lower prestressing reinforcement. During fatigue testing, some of the prestressing strands fractured at the anchor location. In the steel post-tensioned beams, fracture of wires in the seven-wire prestressing strands did not result in total failure of the steel post-tensioned beams, as the unbroken wires continued to carry prestress force. In the CFRP post-tensioned beams, however, fracture led to splintering of the tendon between the anchors and total loss of prestress force. In general, the CFRP post-tensioned beams performed satisfactorily in fatigue, in comparison with the steel post-tensioned beams, as long as premature failure of the tendons near the anchor location was prevented.Key words: fibre reinforced polymer (FRP), anchorage, tendon, fatigue, post-tension, concrete, beam, dynamic, testing.
