Description: A brief summary that describes the FRP (fiber reinforced polymer)properties that make them ideal for use as reinforcement in structures, and the challenges engineers are facing with their use.
Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites The Evolution of Composites within Civil Engineering For years, civil engineers have been in search for alternatives to steels and alloys to combat the high costs of repair and maintenance of structures damaged by corrosion and heavy use. For example, cost estimates for maintenance of highway bridge decks composed of steel-reinforced concrete are up to $90 billion/year. Since the 1940s, composite materials, formed by the combination of two or more distinct materials in a microscopic scale, have gained increasing popularity in the engineering field. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a relatively new class of composite material manufactured from fibers and resins (Figure 1) and has proven efficient and economical for the development and repair of new and deteriorating structures in civil engineering. The mechanical properties of FRPs make them ideal for widespread applications in construction worldwide.
