DEVELOPMENT OF BONDING AGENT USED IN FRP STRENGTHENING SYSTEM

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite is an attractive material for strengthening various civil infrastructures. The system that based on FRP composites consists of many elements. These are: (FRP), strengthened element (concrete, steel, wood, etc) and bonding agent. latter the most important elements which affect performance whole system. Different types agent are used service conditions. Epoxy-based adhesive (EBA) commonly to strengthen concrete or steel structures. Due limitations application EBA, cement-based (CBA) utilized as alternative CBA have been developed by modifying its properties. modification was conducted using different powder-state materials magnetic water treatment. development in addressed this paper order highlight modern consider a promising employ actual outdoor
