Effects of moisture on the long-term performance of adhesively bonded FRP/steel joints used in bridges

Concerns regarding the durability of adhesively-bonded fibre-reinforced-polymer (FRP)/steel joints in bridges have been a major obstacle to their growing application. On the one hand, the available long-term data of FRPs used in bridges is rare and, on the other hand, the existing assessment approac...
