Externally bonded carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have been applied to retrofit and strengthen civil structures. In this study, four-point bending beams were manufactured and tested to examine the fatigue behaviour of the CFRP-concrete interface. The results indicated that the specimens exhibited debonding failure in the concrete beneath the adhesive layer under static loading. However, when cyclic loads were imposed on the small beams, debonding failure may occur in the adhesive layer. Moreover, fitting expressions were proposed to predict the shear stress-slip relationship between the CFRP sheets and concrete and the flexural strength of the CFRP-strengthened beams under static loads, and good agreement with the test data was obtained. Finally, a fatigue life prediction model was also presented to capture the fatigue life of the CFRP-concrete interface under cyclic loads. The calculation results showed that the fatigue strength of the CFRP-concrete bond interface was approximately 65% of the ultimate load capacity.
