Durability of the bond between CFRP plates and concrete exposed to harsh environment حسب Al-Tamimi, Adil

"…It was observed that the specimens exposed to the sun and saline environments experienced an increase in both the bond strength and attained peak loads because exposure of the adhesive to elevated temperature increased the bond because of greater polymer crosslinking, thus creating complex interactions in the polymer matrix. …"
