Abstract: Near-surface mounted (NSM) reinforcement is the common methods for reinforced masonry structure by FRP tendons. The debonding failure of FRP tendons as the primary failure mode, and the research on the bonding performance and debonding mechanism between FRP bars and masonry become the key to this reinforcement technology. In this paper, the progress of pull test, interface shear test, bending test and numerical simulation of domestic and foreign scholars are reviewed. The interfacial bonding properties of NSM-FRP reinforced masonry structures are studied. The results reveal that the deformation capacity, energy dissipation and ductility of masonry are significantly increased after strengthened by NSM-FRP bars. Increasing the embedding depth of FRP bars can effectively improve the debonding load. Finally, the relevant formulas of the various bonding parameters are checked by using the collected experimental data, and some suggestions are put forward for the future research.
