Mode-I Fatigue Fracture of Interface for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composite Bonded to Wood Junhui Jia For applications in civil infrastructure rehabilitation and new construction, wood is being reinforced with externally bonded laminates and fabrics of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. The potential benefits of external reinforcement with bonded FRP composites have been demonstrated through several studies, and the field implementation of this technology has been successfully proven in numerous projects. However, there is a concern with the long-term performance of the interface bond, since an inadequate bond strength and integrity can render the reinforcement ineffective and lead to premature failure of the structure. The performance of FRP-wood bonded interfaces under static and environmental loads have been explored extensively at WVU, and as an extension of this effort, present study will examine, for the first time, the fatigue behavior of FRP-wood bonded interfaces. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Julio F. Davalos for his guidance and inspiration towards the completion of this research work. His constant support, trust, knowledge, patience and unselfishness have been invaluable to the progress of this work.
