Presentation Summary:

Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP’s) have become a viable and accepted means of upgrading, strengthening, and rehabilitating structures throughout the world. Typical applications include external reinforcement, seismic upgrades, change in use, building alterations, and innovative anchoring techniques. This presentation will discuss why structures need to be strengthened, design considerations, available industry guidelines, highlight materials that can be used for structural strengthening along with their advantages and disadvantages, and fire protection requirements.
