The Mechanical and Environmental Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers in Concrete Structures: Opportunities, Challenges and Future Directions

The construction sector is well known for its critical environmental impact resulting from the consumed amounts of raw materials and tremendous emissions greenhouse gases. Therefore, scientists need to promote study implications using alternative solutions such as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) throughout their service life. FRPs have gained increasing popularity in last few years due durability, high corrosion resistance, light weight strength. Life cycle assessment considered one most important methods investigate impacts FRP. aim this paper present an overview polymer composites concrete structures with investigation focusing on mechanical properties civil engineering structures. main focus set polymers, use a strengthening technique structural members life method. reported results literature reveal that utilizing FRP instead traditional improves strength stiffness reduces impacts.
