Abstract: It is technologically possible to strengthen steel reinforced structures by applying external bonded carbon epoxy composite.
The durability and the performance of those reinforcements directly depend on the rheological behavior of concrete-composite interface.
From tensile shear thermostimulated tests performed on the interface, we propose a methodology to evaluate the allowable shear stress of the interface by taking into account the effects of time and temperature.
