Carbon　fiber　reinforced　polymer　(CFRP)　has　the　advantages　of　lightweight,　high　strength　and　corrosion　resis-　tance.　CFRP　laminate　is　widely　used　in　the　reinforcement　and　rehabilitation　of　concrete　and　steel　structures　such　as　buildings,　bridges,　and　tunnels.　In　this　work,　the　structural　arrangement　of　six　kinds　of　orthotropic　CFRP　laminates　that　would　suffer　from　bearing　failure　was　determined　with　the　help　of　a　failure　map.　The　bearing　strength　and　failure　mechanism　of　the　specimens　at　the　joint　were　studied　through　tensile　bearing　tests.　Finally,　a　strength　prediction　model　about　the　effect　of　bolt-hole　size　was　established　based　on　the　Weibull　distribution　theory.　The　research　results　show　that　the　bearing　strength　of　the　CFRP　laminates　is　insignificantly　affected　by　the　thickness　of　the　CFRP　laminates,　however,　is　greatly　affected　by　the　diameter　of　the　bolt　under　the　same　thickness　and　lay-up　form.　The　bearing　strength　of　the　CFRP　laminates　decreases　with　the　increase　in　the　diameter　of　the　bolt　hole.　It　is　found　that　the　specimen　with　a　symmetrical　layup　shows　a　more　obvious　size　effect　compared　to　the　specimen　with　an　asymmetric　layup.　The　model　established　based　on　the　Weibull　distribution　theory　can　well　predict　the　bearing　strength　of　bolted-connected　CFRP　laminates　with　different　diameters.
