FRPRCS-17 Appendix: 131 Large-Scale Experimental Data on EB-FRP Shear Tests for Axial Tension Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Members

This dataset is established as an appendix for the publication presented at the 17th International Symposium on Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRPRCS-17). The dataset is part of Junrui Zhang's Ph.D. thesis and includes data from 131 large-scale experimental tests conducted to investigate the behavior of externally bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (EB-FRP) systems for axial tension strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) members. The tests include EB-FRP systems with varying bond lengths (up to 1.5 meters) and FRP thicknesses (up to 6 mm), with and without fibre anchors. For some specimens, anchor dowels up to 25 mm in diameter and fan lengths of 410 mm were used.The dataset is divided into two categories:<b>Unanchored EB-FRP systems (59 tests)</b>: This part of the dataset investigates how increasing FRP thickness impacts debonding resistance and how longer ties affect deformation capacity.<b>Anchored EB-FRP systems (72 tests)</b>: It includes data from 24 isolated, 12 single, and 36 multi-anchored configurations. This subset explores the effects of anchors on load transfer and debonding, considering factors such as embedment depth, dowel geometry, and anchor alignment.Additionally, the data includes findings on progressive slip development, localized debonding initiation, and failure modes like rupture of fibres, pullout, and concrete pryout mechanisms. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) was used to capture these failures in detail, relevant information could be found in Zhang et al. (2024a, 2026a and 2026b). This dataset provides essential experimental insights for the development of a unified strength model for EB-FRP retrofitting of RC structures, serving as a valuable resource for future design guidelines on tension strengthening.
