What is Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composite Materials for Building and Construction about?

Fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs), a relatively new class of non-corrosive, high-strength, lightweight material, have over the past approximately 15 years emerged as practical materials for a number of structural engineering applications. This chapter introduces constituent materials, FRP composite laminates and multilayer laminate theory, and the durability of composite materials for the construction and building industries, as well as future developments. Furthermore, some of the more common FRP applications in civil engineering structures and design rules are described in detail, including externally bonded FRP plates, sheets and wraps for the strengthening of reinforced concrete, steel, aluminium and timber structural members, FRP bars for the internal reinforcement of concrete, and application of FRP profi les.
