Prestressing Concrete Structures with FRP Tendons 5

Prestressing Concrete Structures with FRP Tendons

Description Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been proposed for use as prestressing tendons in concrete structures. The promise of FRP materials lies in their high-strength, lightweight, noncorrosive, nonconducting, and nonmagnetic properties. In addition, FRP manufacturing, using various cross-sectional shapes and material combinations, offers unique opportunities for the development of shapes and forms that would be

Guide Test Methods for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites for Reinforcing or Strengthening Concrete and Masonry Structures 6

Guide Test Methods for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites for Reinforcing or Strengthening Concrete and Masonry Structures

Description Conventional concrete and masonry structures are rein-forced with nonprestressed steel, prestressed steel, or both. Recently, composite materials made of fibers embedded in a polymeric resin, also known as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, have become an alternative to steel reinforcement. Because FRP materials are nonmetallic and noncorrosive, the problems of steel corrosion are avoided with

Guide for the Design and Construction of Externally Bonded FRP Systems for Strengthening Concrete Structures 7

Guide for the Design and Construction of Externally Bonded FRP Systems for Strengthening Concrete Structures

Description The strengthening or retrofitting of existing concrete structures to resist higher design loads, correct strength loss due to deterioration, correct design or construction deficiencies, or increase ductility has traditionally been accomplished using conventional materials and construction techniques. Externally bonded steel plates, steel or concrete jackets, and external post-tensioning are just some of the many

Types of Mechanical Splices for Reinforcing Bars 9

Types of Mechanical Splices for Reinforcing Bars

Description In reinforced concrete design, the engineer is faced with sizing individual members and establishing reinforcing steel types, placement requirements, and types of splices that will be used throughout the structure. Design drawings or specifications should clearly show or describe all splice locations and the required performance. The importance and necessity of clearly prescribing splice
