Request a sales quoteThe use of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites for prestressed and non-prestressed concrete reinforcement has developed into a technology with serious and substantial claims for the advancement of construction materials and methods. Research and development is now occurring worldwide. The 20 papers in this volume make a further contribution in advancing knowledge and acceptance of FRP composites for concrete reinforcement. The articles are divided into three parts. Part I introduces FRP reinforcement for concrete structures and describes general material properties and manufacturing methods. Part II covers a three-continent perspective of current R&D, design and code implementations, and technical organizations' activities. Part III presents an in-depth description of commercially-available products, construction methods, and applications. The work is intended for engineers, researchers, and developers with the objective of presenting them with a world-wide cross-section of initiatives, representative products and significant applications.
Part I - Introductory Topics. FRP reinforcement for prestressed and non-prestressed concrete structures (A. Nanni). FRP reinforcement: materials and manufacturing (C.E. Bakis). Properties of FRP reinforcements for concrete (L.C. Bank). Part II - International Perspective. A Canadian perspective on R&D, design/codes and technical committees (M.A. Erki, S.H. Rizkalla). FRP developments and applications in Europe (L.R. Taerwe). An overview of R&D in Japan (Y. Sonobe). FRP development in the United States (C. Dolan). Part III - FRP Reinforcement Products.
