External Strengthening of Concrete using FRP - Applications and Installation Best Practices

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are a proven technology for upgrading and strengthening concrete structures. These advanced composite materials have exceptionally high strength, yet are very lightweight and easy to install. They are used for increasing the capacity of existing buildings, seismically upgrading structures, correcting construction errors and allowing changes in use. This presentation provides an overview of the ACI 440.2R code, discusses the limitations for FRP strengthening, and provides information about various FRP products and installation methods. Whether you’re new to FRPs or need to brush-up on some of this knowledge, this will be a great opportunity to interact with the presenters as they dive into various technical and installation topics. Learning objectives: -Identify applications suitable for FRP strengthening -Understand basics of the ACI 440.2R code and limitation of FRP strengthening -Understand industry best practices for concrete surface preparation and application of FRP materials.
