FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER AS A REINFORCING MATERIAL FOR CONCRETE STRUCTURES

Concrete is one of the materials that widely used in various structural works because it has advantages, especially high compressive strength and easy to form. However, concrete can also be damaged by physical, chemical, mechanical excessive loads. Damaged structures must repaired strengthened immediately prevent further damage lead failure. One for reinforcement Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP). FRP a composite material made three basic components, namely fiber, polymer additives. advantages such as having strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, installation, requiring little or no scaffolding. very well increase capacity buildings are undergoing changes function
