This paper summarizes the proceedings of the October 2004 Workshop on FRP Composites in Concrete Construction. The contribution of all workshop participants, the steering committee, and especially the break-out session leaders (Dr. Charles Bakis, Dr. H.R. Hamilton, Dr. Thomas Harmon, Dr. Venkatesh Kodur, Dr. Tony Nanni, Dr. Maria Lopez de Murphy, and Ms. Stephanie Walkup) and recorders (Dr. Luke Bisby, Dr. Sergio Brena, Dr. Rigoberto Burgueno, Dr. Raafat El-Hacha, Dr. Amir Fam, and Dr. Kolluru Subramaniam) are gratefully acknowledged. The workshop was sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through grant number CMS 0338037 (Dr. P. Balaguru, Program Director). Additional support for the workshop was provided by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and ISIS Canada. Support for Canadian participants was provided by ISIS Canada. The opinions expressed are the authors’ interpretation of the workshop proceedings and do not necessarily reflect those of NSF, ACI, or ISIS.
