Popis: The superb performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites as near surface mounted (NSM) reinforcement in strengthening solutions for structures is already well recognized. Due to their deficiencies in fire conditions, cement-based adhesives as an alternative to polymeric matrices are recently suggested as a solution in these systems. However, the interface between the CFRP laminate and cement-based adhesives should have good stress transferring capacity. Thus, it is of great importance the research on improving this interface to increase the bonding capacity of CFRP/cement-based adhesive system. For that purpose, pull-out tests were conducted to examine the interfacial debonding process of two types of CFRP laminates: conventional smooth surface laminates and sand surface treated laminates. Digital image correlation (DIC) technique was used to verify the potentiality of the proposed sand treating approach. Therefore, the interlocking mechanism of sand treated laminates with the developed cement-based adhesive is assessed and the results are compared to those with non-treated smooth surface laminates. Furthermore, the bond-slip behaviour from pull-out tests is compared to obtained data through the DIC technique. The results verified the effectiveness of sand treatment approach applied to NSM CFRP reinforcements. Moreover, the DIC technique has revealed capable of providing qualitative and quantitative information in this regard
