Why do CFRP retrofit schemes specify mechanical anchor or tapered termination detailing to curb debond/peeling failures?

Choices

• (A) Anchors purely decorate edges
• (B) Anchoring controls peel stresses and aligns bond lengths with manufacturer strain caps
• (C) Peeling is unaffected by shear transfer
• (D) FRP axial stiffness is irrelevant to bond
