Bond Mechanism of Near-Surface-MountedFiber-Reinforced Polymer Bars for FlexuralStrengthening of Concrete Structures (2004, methodology): “525 mm,fJ ; 48 MPa, the embedment length needed to develop a stress of 40<;0 of the rupture strength of the CFRP bars according to Eq, (8), is equal to 221 mm, This value is equivalent to 28% of the value measured when the same bars were used for strengthening the beam in a NSM configuration.”
Embedded Through-Section FRP Rod Method for Shear Strengthening of RC Beams: Performance and Comparison with Existing Techniques (2011, unknown): “Similar results have been reported by De Lorenzis and Nanni (2001). In the specimens strengthened using the ETS method, it appears that decreasing the spacing of the transverse steel resulted in a lower resistance gain attributable to FRP.”
Strengthening of RC Members Using Near-Surface Mounted FRP Composites: Design Overview (2004, methodology): “When computing Vf , two strain limits need to be taken into account (De Lorenzis and Nanni 2001a) namely: strain from bond-controlled failure, and maximum strain threshold of 0.004.”
