Abstract: FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) strengthening methods have been widely applied to bridge structures. Although the methods using FRP sheets can improve the flexural load-bearing capacity of strengthened structures,they often suffer from the premature debonding failure. The failure can be effectively circumvented by anchoring systems, which can improve utilization of the strength of FRP sheets. This paper reviews the existing anchoring methods of FRP sheets and analyzes their strengthening effects.
