Abstract
The load capacity of bonded joints can be increased if transverse pressure
is applied at the interface. The transverse pressure is assumed to introduce a
Coulomb-friction contribution to the cohesive law for the interface. Response
and load capacity for a bonded single-lap joint was derived using non-linear
fracture mechanics. The results indicated a good correlation between theory
and tests. Furthermore, the model is suggested as theoretical base for
determining load capacity of bonded anchorages with transverse pressure, in
externally reinforced concrete structures.
