A concise state-of-the-art survey of fiber-reinforced polymer (also known as plastic) composites for construction applications in civil engineering is presented. The paper organized into separate sections on structural shapes, bridge decks, internal reinforcements, externally bonded and standards codes. Each section includes a historical review, the current state art, future challenges.

The present study presents a systematic analysis for the short-term strength of masonry walls, strengthened with externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates under monotonic out-of-plane bending, in-plane and shear, all combined axial load, within framework modern design codes (e.g., Eurocode 6). results, which are presented in form both equations normalized interaction diagrams, show that: (1) when bending response dominates, as case upper story levels, where loads low,...
Textile reinforced mortars (TRM), also known in the international literature as textile concrete (TRC) or fabric cementitious matrix (FRCM) materials, have been widely studied during last two decades they constitute a promising alternative to fiber polymer (FRP) retrofitting solution for strengthening of members. This paper presents state-of-the-art review on structures with TRM. First, tensile and bond behavior TRM is described. Next, an overview studies use flexural, shear, confinement,...

The present study describes a simple design model for the calculation of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) contribution to shear capacity strengthened RC elements according formats Eurocode, American Concrete Institute, and Japan Institute. key element in is an effective FRP strain, which calculated when reaches its due concrete diagonal tension. Diagonal tension failure may be combined with debonding or tensile fracture, latter also occur at stage beyond ultimate capacity. An upper limit...
The results of a comprehensive experimental program, aimed at providing fundamental understanding the behavior shear-critical exterior reinforced concrete (RC) joints strengthened with fiber polymers (FRP) under simulated seismic load, are presented in this study. role various parameters on effectiveness FRP is examined through 2/3-scale testing 18 RC joints. Conclusions drawn basis certain load versus imposed displacement response characteristics, comprising strength (maximum lateral load),...

Advanced forms of wood construction can enable contemporary structures such as bridges to be competitive with those constructed from any other conventional material. This paper presents the results an analytical and experimental investigation a new form involving external bonding thin fiber‐reinforced plastic (FRP) sheets on tension zones beams beam columns using epoxy resins. Here, we examine effect composite reinforcement collapse mechanisms loads, stiffness curvature ductility hybrid FRP...
The study presents the mechanics associated with short-term behavior of glass-fiber reinforced-plastic (GFRP) box beams that include a layer concrete and carbon-fiber–reinforced-plastic laminate (CFRP) in compression tension zone, respectively. This innovative concept results cost-effective composite members pseudoductile characteristics high stiffness strength properties. It can be thought as better way producing structural for simply supported spans, through an automated manufacturing...

This paper presents a technique for retrofitting nonseismically reinforced concrete (RC) masonry-infilled frames with textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jacketing. In the present study application of TRM is examined on nearly full-scale, as-built and retrofitted, three-story frames, subjected to in-plane cyclic loading. The results testing 2∶3 scale, frame representing typical structures nonseismic design detailing characteristics companion retrofitted via jacketing are presented compared in...
