Abstract

The paper presents a closed-form solution for the interfacial shear stresses developed between an FRP plate and beam due to thermal expansion, assuming elastic behavior and a prismatic section. Also presented is a numerical procedure for determining the interfacial shear stresses when the section is not prismatic. Additionally, the paper provides examples of the application of these approaches to FRP plated cast iron beams, illustrating the high interfacial shear and normal stresses that can develop near to the plate ends for metallic structures.
