A Sample of International Production FRP Reinforcement for Concrete Structures

fi ber reinforced plastic (FRP) re. nforcement is one of the most promising new developments for concrete structures. FRP reinforcing elements provide lighter, easier to assemble, and more durable structures that are free of the deterioration caused by corrosion of steel. FRPs consist of synthetic or organic highstrength fibers, most of which are impregnated with a resin matrix. They are availa...

Utilising confinement reinforcement for shear resistance in reinforced concrete structures

Common transverse reinforcement of reinforced concrete members with circular cross-section consists of round ties or spirals. Its purpose in members that are not subjected to significant shear loading is to provide proper confinement for concrete, and eliminate buckling of the longitudinal reinforcement bars. If spirals are to be used as both shear enabler and confiner for reinforced concrete b...
