This paper presents a concise state-of-the-art review on the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) in bridge engineering. The is organized into commonly used FRP components, and different materials/manufacturing techniques for repairing construction bridges. Efforts have been made to give clear view bridges using most relevant literature. FRPs certain desired properties like high strength wei...

effective elastic properties for carbon nanotube reinforced composites are obtained through a variety of micromechanics techniques. an embedded carbon nanotube  in  a  polymer  matrix  and  its surrounding  interphase  is  replaced with an equivalent fiber for  predicting  the  mechanical  properties of  the  carbon  nanotube/polymer composite. the effects of an interphase layer between the nan...

externally bonded reinforcement on grooves (ebrog) is a new method that has been introduced to postpone or eliminate debonding of frp sheets from concrete surface in concrete beams strengthened for flexure and increase loading capacity. for strengthening reinforced conceret beams in strructure, use of different types of frp like: laminate, afrp, cfrp, and gfrp. by there is some differences betw...

The efficient use of fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites in load-carrying structures requires detailed analyses to assess their mechanical performance, cost, and weight saving aspects. To accurately analyze the cyclic fatigue life of composite laminates, the influence of the physical non-linearity of the unidirectional lamina in the cyclic fatigue life analysis was examined using enhance...

A computational model of ultrasound scattering by micro-cracks in fiber reinforced polymer laminates is presented, foundational to study of micro-crack induced ultrasound attenuation. A model for transmission scattering response is developed using a boundary integral formulation, and associated approximate scattering theories are discussed. Numerical results are presented demonstrating applicat...
