Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen

“…To shed light on the FRP bond-slip behaviour under high loading rates (above 800 mm/s), the author proposed a novel experimental method for high loading-rate impact tests using a modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) set-up. Dynamic enhancing effect on ultimate load, shear bond stress and shear fracture energy could be quantified for a wide range of loading rates varying from 0.02 mm/s to 2150 mm/s. …”
