“…The above experimental results appear to be in agreement with results published by other researchers (Malvar, 1995, Larralde and Silva-Rodriqez, 1993, Chaallal and Benmokrane, 1993 and Nanni, Al-Zaharani, Al-Dulaijen, Bakis and Boothby, 1995, Tepfers R. and Karlsson M., 1997) despite the fact that different types of FRP rods were used. It is also worth noting that the bond strength of epoxy-coated bars, which are mainly used as anti-corrosive reinforcement, varies from 67-95% of that of deformed steel bars Embedment length (Chaallal and Benmokrane, 1993), which is comparable to the bond strength of FRP bars.…”
