To increase the bond capacity of FRP sheets employed in the strengthening of concrete members, various anchoring methods have been proposed and used. In this paper, a new anchoring approach with the gluing of precast fiber reinforced cementitious composites (FRCC) plate on top of the FRP sheet will be discussed. The direct shear bond test is employed to measure the failure load and study the failure mechanisms. Several sets of tests have been performed with different FRCC composition and different length of the FRCC plate. Comparison with the control sample shows that the installation of FRCC plate can significantly increase the bond capacity (by up to 100%).
