Advantages of FRP composite strengthening materials

High structural efficiency

•    High strength/weight and stiffness/weight attributes

•    Good fatigue resistance

Long life cycle benefits

•    Enhanced corrosion resistance

•    Chemical resistant

•    Thin and light

Good economic benefits

•    Low installation cost

•    Short construction period

FRP composite strengthening materials

Strengthening

•    Flexural reinforcement (beams, slabs, walls, etc.)

•    Increase shear strength (beams, columns, walls, etc.)

•    Axial reinforcement (column, pressure vessel)

Retrofitting

•    Shear (beam, column, wall, seam)

•    Closed (beam, column, joint)

•    Lap joints (beams, columns, joints)

Keep fresh

•    Corrosion inhibition (columns, beams, etc.)

•    Shallow repair and anchorage (columns, beams, etc.)
