This paper studies the characteristics of bond behaviors between FRP and FRP members, and also estimates the effective bond length, developes adhesive mathematical models. 32 cases of double-face shear type bond tests were conducted. Four test variables were used in this test: FRP materials; epoxy type; bond length; finishing method of bonded surface. It was revealed that bond strength was more affected by epoxy type and finishing method of bonded surface than the other test variables. Also effective bond length was obtained from the test results. Adhesive mathematical models for FRP members were estimated by analytical method and are compared with test results.
