Development of FRP Reinforcement Guidelines for Prestressed Concrete Structures
Publication: Journal of Composites for Construction
Volume 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Several national programs define the testing protocols and design guidelines for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in concrete structures. This paper offers a review of these documents, comparing the materials testing and design philosophies for FRP reinforcement of different working groups. The work references Canadian, European, and Japanese efforts to codify these materials and assess the relative merits of each approach. The emphasis is on prestressing applications since the demands for sustained load capacity and full bond are more severe than for reinforced concrete.
