Abstract

The use of fibre reinforced polymer, FRP, as reinforcement for concrete structures has been growing rapidly in recent years. This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge of these materials and highlights the various FRP strengthening techniques that have been used for concrete and masonry structures. Material characteristics of FRP and fundamental design considerations are discussed. Selection of the appropriate materials and their corresponding advantages and disadvantages are highlighted. Design philosophies for concrete members reinforced and/or strengthened with FRP are enumerated. Fundamental flexure, shear and bond behaviour of concrete members reinforced and/or strengthened with FRP according to the current ACI design guidelines are examined. The paper also reviews the durability aspects of FRP and describes selected field applications of these materials. Copyright Β© 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In the last years, a great number of experimental tests have been performed to determine the ultimate strength of reinforced concrete beams retrofitted in shear by means of externally bonded fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP). Most of design proposals for shear strengthening are based on a regression a

A spectral method is proposed for solving static and dynamic problems in FRP-strengthened reinforced concrete beams in a unified way. In order to appropriately simulate the debonding failure a mechanical model considering nonlinear stress-strain relationships for concrete and steel is used. The FRP-
