Abstract
The structural potential for cracking of externally strengthened concrete tension members,
can be predicted with three parameters, describing the structural cracking potential based
on fracture mechanical properties of the of concrete and interface between concrete and
strengthening medium. With these parameters, it is possible to design reinforcement
and obtain a required cracking behavior of a given structure. Design recommendations
for single and multiple cracking of the tension specimen are given in terms of fracture
mechanical parameters, and a structural stiffness parameter.
