Abstract :In this paper, the interface model was proposed and the finite element analysis was applied to numerical simulation the bonding test of CFRP bars inside concrete. Two parameters were used in this interface model. Interface shear modulus ( ) was obtained from the deformation compatibility between CFRP bars and inner concrete and the uniform stress distribution condition by the critical tensile strength of CFRP bonding test. Analytical results the isotropic condition. Critical shear stress ( ) of interface was calculated with the assumption of shows that the distribution of interface shear stress is uniform at the region near by loading location and the shear stress decreased gradually along the bar member. The shear stress was less impacted on the bar end. Comparison of the analytic and test results indicated that the analytical critical strength was conservative cause of the analytical variable stress distribution.
