Abstract: The connection strength, load-shift behavior and failure mode of single-bolted joint specimens for MT700 and T700S carbon fiber composites were investigated via static tensile-strength experiments. The MT700/603 laminates exhibit simultaneously superior load-carrying ability and structural stability. Meanwhile, their connection failure strengths for M5 and M6 single-bolted joint have increased by 12% and 10% compared to T700S/603 laminates, respectively. Moreover, the adhesive-bolted joint pattern of MT700/603 laminates could effectively improve their integral connection strength and structural safety margin. After adhesive layer failure, the residual strength coefficients for M5 and M6 adhesive-bolted joint were also as high as 65% and 88%, respectively.
