ABSTRACT: This paper is focused on the description of particular results in case of loading tests of the adhesively bonded joints of glass-fibre reinforced plastic composite members subjected to a shear force. It describes the determination of their characteristic and design values of load-carrying capacity according to “Design assisted by testing” method given by Eurocode, as well as their actual behaviour through the modes of failure. The results have been obtained and evaluated on the basis of group of loading tests divided into five series of specimens with a slightly different geometric configuration as a part of the solution of the research project focused on the use of FRP composite members and their advantages in construction of civil engineering. All the performed experiments have been subsequently taken as a pilot tests for the verification of numeric models of the designed connection details.
