When reinforced concrete is strengthened by using externally bonded CFRP strips
it is not sufficient to perform checks just for the end anchorages. The bond forces must be transferred where the load is applied. These bond forces may be transferred by the elements in between flexural cracks which are mainly influenced by the bond behavior of the internal and external reinforcing. Therefore the models which were derived from end anchorage tests must be expanded to include other effects as well.
These models were first described theoretically by the differential equation of bond and a bilinear bond stress slippage relationship. To evaluate this theoretically derived relationship numerous experiments on the intermediate crack elements where conducted.
In this paper, an evaluation of these experiments in two different ways is shown. The one evaluation is carried out only on the fracture force, the other analysis also takes the slippage occurred in the intermediate crack element tests into account. With both evaluations it can be shown, that besides the previously scheduled bilinear bond approach additional friction effects between the already decoupled fracture surfaces of the bonded strips occur.
