Design and Construction of Externally Bonded FRP Systems for Strengthening Concrete Structures

2002, 45 pp.

$87.50


The second publication in ACI's Emerging Technology series offers general information on the history and use of FRP strengthening systems; a description of the unique material properties of FRP; and committee recommendations on the engineering, construction, and inspection of FRP systems used to strengthen concrete structures. The proposed guidelines are based on the knowledge gained from worldwide experimental research, analytical work, and field applications of FRP systems used to strengthen concrete structures.
