Prestressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthening is effective in suppressing crack propagation of steel beams. However, the fatigue behavior of notched steel beams with prestressed CFRP under a hygrothermal environment is not fully understood. Generally, notch machining on the steel beam is an ordinary method to simulate a fatigue defect for laboratory tests. In this study, the interfacial energy release rate at the notch location was first derived for strengthened steel beams. The theoretical results show that the interfacial energy release rate can be significantly reduced by prestressed CFRP strengthening, contributing to improving the interfacial fatigue performance. In addition, notched steel beams strengthened by prestressed CFRP (with a prestress level of 25% of tensile strength of CFRP plate) were exposed to wetting/drying cycles (WDCs) and then tested under fatigue loading. The experimental results show that prestressed CFRP strengthening increases the fatigue resistance of interfacial debonding initiation and failure 3.47 times and 7.83 times, respectively, which agrees with the tendency revealed by the theoretical results. In contrast, WDC exposure reduced the fatigue lives of interfacial debonding initiation and failure by 34.6% and 27.2%, respectively. An S-N curve based on the maximum principal interfacial stress at the notch location was proposed to predict the tendency of fatigue life of debonding initiation for strengthened steel beams. Moreover, the tendency prediction for fatigue life of interfacial debonding development for the strengthened steel beams with/without WDC exposure was developed based on Paris' law.
