Synopsis An analytical method for the elast.c analysis of the interaction between a concrete beam and a
steel plate bonded to it by epoxy adhesive is presented. The shear and the peehng distnbuted forces reduced
into the epoxy are formulated. It ~sobserved that large shear and peeling dtstnbuted forces are induced into the
epoxy at a small reg=onat the edges of the steel plate The cases where large tensde distributed peeling force
os mduced, are dtscussed

INTRODUCTION
The method of strengthening concrete elements by
bondmg steel plates to the concrete surface by epoxy
resms in sttu has been developed recently. Much work
was done in the development of the glueing technique,
and m experimental study of the behavlour of the
structural elements strengthened by epoxy bonded steel
plates. The knowledge of the mteractlon between the
steel plate and the concrete structural element, and the
stress induced =ntothe epoxy bond, is important for the
evaluation of the behavlour of the strengthened structural element. The effect of the properties of the adhesive,
steel and concrete and their geometrical parameters on
the structural behavlour of the strengthened element 0s
also essential for its design.
In thts work an analyt.cal method for the analysis of
the mteraction between the concrete beam and epoxy
bonded steel plate =s presented. Much work has been
carr.ed out on the study of the shear distnbuted forces
induced into the bond. The cases of composite beams [1,
2], composite beams and plates [3], and alummlum
beams reinforced by carbon fibre reinforced plastics [4]
were cons0dered. In thts work the shear distributed

DISCUSSION A N D C O N C L U S I O N S
In the previous pages the shear and the peeling dlstnbuted forces reduced into the bond of concrete beams
strengthened by epoxy bonded steel plates were formulated It Is shown that the maximum shear and peeling
stresses appear at the edges of the steel plates and they
drop quickly. The speed of the drop is associated with
two parameters X and 6 given by equations (17) and (29)
As the cross-section area and the second moment of
area of the steel plate and the adhesive thickness
increases, the drop is slower whereas as the width and
the elastic modulus of the adhesive are increased, the
drop is faster. The maximum shear stress mcreases as
the bond, the distance of the strengthening steel plate
from the support of the beam, the cross-section area of
the steel plate and the shear modulus of the adhesive
increases. It decreases as the adhesive w0dth and
thickness increases. The peeling stress increases as the
shear stress and the steel plate thickness mcrease.
