Description

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites (the combination of two or more materials). Used more often in the defense and aerospace industries, advanced composites are beginning to play the role of conventional materials (commodities) used for load-bearing structural components for infrastructure applications. These unique materials are now being used worldwide for building new structures as well as for rehabilitating in-service structures.

“FRP” is an acronym for fiber reinforced polymers, which some also call fiber reinforced plastics, so called because of the fiber content in a polyester, vinyl ester, or other matrix. Three are commonly used (among others): composite containing glass fibers are called glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP): those containing carbon fibers are called carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) and those reinforced with aramid fibers are referred to as aramid fiber reinforced polymers (AFRP). This paper presents general concept for strengthening the reinforced concrete column a wrapping of CF sheet.
