title = "Experimental study of fatigue behaviour of BFRP-concrete bond interfaces",
abstract = "Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) composites have advantages over Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites in some aspects such as lower cost and green source of material. This paper reports a series of fatigue tests of BFRP-concrete bond behaviour. The bending test set-up was adopted for ease of test. The test programme included 11 specimens tested under static, fatigue and post-fatigue loading. The fatigue failure modes, the development of deflection, the evolution of BFRP strains and the propagation of interfacial cracks were analysed. The results show that the fatigue has a significant effect on the BFRP strength especially near the root of concrete transverse crack, and on the bond performance of the adhesive near the interface crack tip.",
