Design of FRP Systems for Strengthening Concrete Girders in Shear. National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 678
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems have been used for more than 20 years and are becoming a widely accepted method of strengthening concrete structures. The use of FRP composites in rehabilitating structures has grown in popularity due to its advantages over conventional materials and wide range of structural applications. FRP systems for strengthening reinforced or prestressed concrete girders consist of externally bonded laminates or near-surface mounted bars. These systems may contain either carbon or glass fibers. Because of their light-weight and exceptional formability, FRP reinforcements can be quickly and easily bonded to even the most curved and irregular surfaces. The high strength-to-weight ratio of FRP composites makes them more structurally efficient than traditional strengthening materials. In addition, FRP composites are noncorrosive, nonmagnetic, nonconductive, and generally resistant to chemicals.
