Abstract

The paper describes the measurements of temperature growth in different types of the epoxy adhesive bonding external strengthening. A total of six types of models were tested: CFRP sheet and strip, two SRP tapes adhered to the concrete sample, CFRP strip and SRP tape on a timber sample. Changes in temperature were investigated during the summer in the southern Poland. The maximum measured temperatures for all models exceeded regarded as safe temperature limit of 45°C. The highest recorded adhesive temperature refers to a sample of CFRP strengthened timber and exceeded 70°C. For the structure such a high temperature may result in almost complete loss of adhesion and thus the efficiency of strengthening. Test results may be a warning against the use of FRP external strengthening exposed to direct sunlight without any protection.
