• The CFRP anchors increased the capacity of the unanchored prisms in the range of 11-33%. • Anchoring CFRP laminates delayed the debonding failure mode and utilized more strain in the CFRP laminates compared to unanchored prisms. • There is a direct relationship between the anchor embedment depth and the capacity of the strengthened prisms, where increasing the anchor embedment depth increased the capacity of the concrete prism and CFRP strain utilization due to the increase in anchor pullout capacity. • More research is needed to be conducted to understand the effect of different anchor parameters and configurations on the anchor capacity and to propose design guidelines for the anchors.
