Steel-FRP Composite Structural Systems
Publication: Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete VI
Abstract
Most extant fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) applications in the structural engineering field involve concrete-FRP composite systems, where FRP components are attached to or embedded into concrete structures to improve their structural performance. A relatively small and innovative body of work focusing on steel-FRP composite structural systems is beginning to develop. A state-of-the-art review of progress in this emerging and rapidly developing area is presented. The review is divided into applications: strengthening steel structures with FRP, stabilizing (or bracing) buckling-critical steel elements with FRP and relieving fatigue or fracture-critical conditions. Discussions of concerns pertaining to joining FRP and steel as well as the potential and future of this technology are also presented.
