Epoxy resins (ERs) are one of the main types of resins used as structural adhesives;
however, they present some weakness, which are mostly related to their highly cross-linked …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly being used to
strengthen structures and to retrofit existing structures. CFRP composites are used in various …

This paper investigates the effects of environmental ageing on the mechanical response of
adhesively bonded double-lap shear joints made of steel and CFRP or GFRP adherents …

Concerns regarding the durability of adhesively-bonded fibre-reinforced-polymer
(FRP)/steel joints in bridges have been a major obstacle to their growing application. On the …

Due to several advantages that Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites offer in
comparison with other strengthening techniques for steel structures, they have attracted …

The accelerated aging tests are carried out to examine the effects of moisture-heat coupling
on the mechanical properties of nano-SiO 2 adhesive specimens and the bonding behavior …

Strengthening of steel structures with adhesively bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymer
(CFRP) materials have become increasingly popular in the last decade. However …

Compared with traditional technology, bonding technology is more suitable for civil structure
reinforcement because of its cost‐efficiency and superior mechanical properties. However …

External bonding with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) has been considered great
potential in fatigue strengthening of defected steel components. Generally, it takes one to …

The influence of combined mechanical and environmental loads on the behaviour of CFRP
strengthened steel structures is crucial for their safe use and effective design, and requires …
