What is it about?
The effects of new embedded connectors were investigated through repairing and strengthening damaged beams

Why is it important?
The study indicates that the interfacial bond strength between the externally bonded plates and concrete can be increased remarkably by using these connectors.
Perspectives
The investigation verifies that steel connectors increase the shear bond strength by 48% compared to 38% for the adhesive connectors. Thus, steel connectors are more effective than adhesive connectors in increasing shear bond strength.
