“…Table 3 classifies the observed failure modes in this study, while Figure 6 shows a schematic of the test (the interface between the adhesive, the epoxy resin, the FRP layers, and the concrete is extended for limpidity). Failure took place at the feeblest plane within the system, which could have been the bond interface, the concrete substrate, the epoxy used to bond FRP to dolly, or a combination of these failure modes (Benzarti et al, 2011; Fazli et al, 2018; Green et al, 2000; Leone et al, 2009; Mikami et al, 2015). When a failure occurs at the adhesive material, it is considered to be the true bond strength.…”
