Bond mechanism and bond strength of GFRP bars to concrete: A review (2016, methodology): “In the Wambeke and Shield database, the bar surface did not appear to influence the test results.”
Bond-behavior study of newly developed bamboo-composite reinforcement in concrete (2016, background): “The bond strengths of 371 bamboo-composite bars with and without coating were similar to the bond strength of plain 372 glass fiber reinforcement in normal strength concrete [29-31].”
Experimental study of hybrid FRP reinforced concrete beams (2010, methodology): “The development length of GFRP bars in the beams was sufficient if calculated according to Wambeke and Shield [20], and similar to that of steel bars according to the Hong Kong RC code [18].”
Effect of aging on bond of GFRP bars embedded in concrete (2010, background): “Considerable research has gone into the bond behavior of FRP bars in concrete [17,13,1,7] and the durability performance of the bond between FRP bars and concrete.”
