Strength in psi.In the splitting tensile test, the bond interface is subjected to the greatest tensile stress inthe specimen. It should be emph<strong>as</strong>ized that when the failure <strong>of</strong> the composite prism takesplace in the <strong>concrete</strong> substrate, the bond strength is considered greater than the failurestress <strong>of</strong> the sample. Only in the c<strong>as</strong>es in which failure occurred fully in the bond thatstress value can be taken <strong>as</strong> the bond strength. Figure 4.7 shows the different failuremodes considered in this study. Pictures <strong>of</strong> all tested splitting tensile composite prisms,c<strong>as</strong>t on saturated conditions, and monolithic prisms can be found in the Appendixes.(a) G/C: groove-<strong>concrete</strong>.

The values are obtained from Table 4.7. It can be statedthat for sandbl<strong>as</strong>ted, chipped and smooth surfaces the predominant failure mode is79
