Discussion

Experimental tests revealed corrosion impacts on ultimate load of RC beams with bolt anchoring, suggesting design improvements may be necessary.

Corrosion at the steel-concrete interface reduced the ultimate load capacity of strengthened beams, emphasizing the need for durable materials.
An experimental analysis showed a significant impact on flexural performance when bond defects were present, leading to 32.8% reduced debonding load.
Finite element simulations highlighted a strong alignment with experimental data, indicating robust modeling for predicting structural behavior.
Findings suggest that enhancing bolt anchorage can mitigate debonding, but attention is needed on bond defects to maintain load capacity.

Chen et al. (2025) studied this question.
