To achieve 100% joint efficiency in fiber-polymer composite joints, the static behavior of three types of double-lap joints, including adhesively bonded, bolted and hybrid bonded/bolted joints, was experimentally investigated. A flexible acrylic adhesive was used for both adhesive and hybrid joints. The effect of the overlap length on the ultimate failure load was examined. The results showed that 100% joint efficiency can be achieved in both adhesive joints and hybrid joints with still reasonable overlap length. Moreover, creep experiments were conducted on adhesive and hybrid joints at different load levels. The results showed that creep in the adhesive layer was significantly reduced in the hybrid joints due to the presence of bolts.
