Abstract :

Advanced composite materials or fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are very attractive for use in civil engineering applications due to theirlight weight, high strengthtoweight and stiffnesstoweight ratios, corrosion resistance and high durability. Their application is of most importance in the renewal of structural member (slab, beam, columns) such as buildings, idges etc. Recently, their use has increased in the rehabilitation of concrete structures, mainly due to their ease for application, high durability and low costs.This paper presents an overview of the research and development of applications of advanced composites in civil engineering.
