An international Round Robin Testing (RRT) programm e on FRP reinforcement was conducted within the framework of the Marie Curie R esearch Training Network, EN- CORE, and with the support of Task Group 9.3 of the International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib). Eleven laboratories and six manufacturers and suppliers participated in this exercise. As part of this exte nsive experimental endeavour, one or more of the following tests were performed by the partic ipating laboratories: 1) tensile tests on FRP bars and strips; 2) tensile tests on FRP lamina tes; 3) double bond shear tests on FRP laminates (Externally Bonded Reinforcement, EBR) an d FRP bars/strip (Near Surface Mounted reinforcement, NSM). This paper will discus ses the results of the RRT initiative, among which the experimental results of bond tests on concrete specimens strengthened with EBR and NSM FRP.
