Research Abstract
In this chapter, the uniaxial tensile tests of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-strengthened tensile members are introduced to explain the tension stiffening effect. Based on experimental observations, an analytical method considering bond stress–slip relationships for steel bar and continuous fiber sheets (or FRP sheets) is presented.
