Abstract: In recent years, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been widely used in concrete reinforcement. However, the prediction accuracy of the existing FRP-concrete interface bond strength prediction models is low, which cannot provide an effective reference for the practical applications of FRP composites. Therefore, a large database consisting of 855 sets of test data was established in this study, and a bond strength model with high prediction accuracy was proposed by using group method of data handling (GMDH). In order to verify whether the GMDH model can provide a more valuable reference for the calculation of the bond strength of the FRP-concrete interface, the GMDH model was compared with seven existing literature models, and coefficient of determination (R2), coefficient of variation (COV) and relative square root error (RRSE) were used to evaluate the prediction results of these models. The results showed that, compared with the existing literature models, the R2, COV and RRSE values of the proposed GMDH model were improved by at least 11.9%, 30.9% and 35.3%, respectively. Therefore, the GMDH model can provide a more effective reference for the practical applications of FRP composites.
