FRP for Infrastructure Applications: Research Advances

Basalt Frp Composite as Reinforcements in Infrastructure

Basalt continuous fibers are regarded as an inert and naturally occurring material that is produced from basalt rock by using single component raw material and drawing and winding fibers from the melt. Basalt based materials are environmentally friendly and nonhazardous. Basalt FRP (BFRP) composites as a reinforcement not only display a higher strength and modulus, but also a similar cost, and ...

FRP for Transportation and Civil Engineering Infrastructure: Reality and Vision

This paper reviews the reality and vision of the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials in civil engineering and transportation infrastructure applications. Due to their superior characteristics these materials have become a commonly accepted construction material for both new construction and for rehabilitation and strengthening of existing bridges and structures. This paper...

Advances of Finite Element Analysis for FRP Concrete Beams

In this paper, the advances of finite element methods and analyses for FRP reinforced and strengthened concrete beams in last two decades are reviewed to present a state of the art of the research of numerical analysis and modelling of FRP composite concrete beams. Future research on finite element analysis of FRP composite beams is also presented.
