Reviewer 2 Report

First of all, the manuscript should be prepared and improved more carefully. For example, the format of references does not fit the journal's requirements.

The introduction should be revised to focus more on scientific problems.

Please add one more figure to show the test setup.

To discuss the mechanisms, one is FRP confined mortar (please refer to reference "Strength enhancement due to FRP confinement for coarse aggregate-free concretes"), and the other one is FRP confined steel reinforcement (please refer to reference "New types of steel-FRP composite bar with round steel bar inner core: Mechanical properties and bonding performances in concrete").

Please fit the simulated image and test image with the same scales in Fig. 7.
