Abstract
A meso-scale finite element model is presented for investigating the FRP-concrete bond behaviour under static and dynamic loadings. It adopts a local concrete damage model. A large number of single shear tests under static pull-off loading were modeled. It is demonstrated that the developed model can satisfactorily simulate the static debonding behaviour, in terms of the load-carrying capacity and the local bond-slip behaviour. A preliminary study of the effect of the dynamic loading rate on the debonding behaviour was also conducted by considering a dynamic increase factor for the concrete strength as a function of strain rate. It is shown that a higher loading rate leads to a higher load-carrying capacity, a longer effective bond length, and a larger damaged area of concrete in the single shear loading scenario.
