Abstract
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite is an attractive material for strengthening various civil infrastructures. The strengthening system that based on FRP composites consists of many elements. These are: strengthening material (FRP), strengthened element (concrete, steel, wood, etc) and bonding agent. The latter is the most important elements which affect the performance of the whole strengthening system. Different types of bonding agent are used based on service conditions. Epoxy-based adhesive (EBA) is the most commonly used to strengthen concrete or steel structures. Due to the limitations of the application of EBA, cement-based adhesive (CBA) is utilized as an alternative bonding agent. The CBA have been developed by modifying its properties. The modification was conducted using different powder-state materials or by magnetic water treatment. The development of bonding agent that used in FRP strengthening system is addressed in this paper in order to highlight the most modern bonding agent which consider as a promising material to employ in the actual outdoor structures.
