In this paper an analytical method is proposed to predict the distributions of interfacial shear stress in concrete beams strengthened by composite plates. Non-linear behaviour of concrete under compression is considered in the analysis. The solutions show significant shear stress concentration near the cut-off end of plates. A parametrical study is carried out to show the effects of some design variables, e.g., thickness of adhesive layer, material properties and the distance from support to cut-off end of bonded plates.
