Deterioration of reinforced concrete columns due to corrosion (from ISIS-Canada 2003). 

This section will give descriptions of some of the most significant environments affecting FRP durability. This is followed by a description of the fire performance of FRP reinforced or strengthened systems. Finally, a brief overview of the consideration of durability in guidelines, codes and standards is given. The information presented in this section is based largely on information found in AC1-440.R-07 (2007) and ISIS-Canada (2006). 

From the variations of the equations given in the literature, e.g. fib-bulletin-14 (2001), ISIS-Canada (2001), ACI-440.2R-02 (2002), Teng et al (2002), CNR (2004), SIA166 (2004), TR55 (2004), it can be seen that debonding is a complex failure mode that is not yet fully understood. 

There are three potential flexural failure modes for FRP-reinforced concrete sections (ISIS-Canada 2003) ...
