FRP Design Codes and Guidelines, FRPRCS-16 Symposium, Part 6 of 14

Saturday, March 23, 2024  1:00 PM - 3:00 PM, Strand 13B

This session is one of 14 sessions that form the 16th Fiber Reinforced Polymer Reinforced Concrete Structures (FRPRCS-16) Symposium. It is co-sponsored by ACI Committee 440 and the International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC) for the purpose of advancing the understanding and application of FRP composites in civil infrastructure to serve the engineering profession and society. FRPRCS was first held in conjunction with the ACI 1993 Spring convention in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Since 1993, FRPRCS has evolved into a prestigious and reputable international conference that has been held 15 times including 5 times in conjunction with ACI: British Columbia, Canada (1993); Baltimore (1999); Kansas City (2005); Tampa (2011); and Anaheim (2017).

This session will focus on latest design code changes and knowledge gaps.

Learning Objectives:
(1) Discuss the current status of FRP design codes around the globe;
(2) Identify the knowledge gaps in current FRP design codes around the globe;
(3) Discuss the ongoing efforts to update current FRP design codes around the globe;
(4) Review the challenges to adoption of current FRP design codes around the globe.

This session has been approved by AIA and ICC for 2 PDHs (0.2 CEUs). Please note: You must attend the live session for the entire duration to receive credit. On-demand sessions do not qualify for PDH/CEU credit.


Recent FRP Code Developments in the United States for Reinforcing and Strengthening Concrete Structures

Presented By: Maria Lopez de Murphy
Affiliation: Modjeski and Masters
Description: The presentation will set the stage for a panel discussion on recent US developments of codes related to external and internal FRP and their use in concrete structures.


Canadian Codes on FRP and the underlying Research and Field Applications

Presented By: Shamim Sheikh
Affiliation: University of Toronto
Description: The presentation will include a brief update on Canadian codes related to external and internal FRP and their use in structures. A few examples of background research and field applications will also be presented. Some information on seismic resistance of FRP-reinforced concrete structures will also be included.


Design of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Structures in Europe

Presented By: Tommaso D'Antino
Affiliation: Politecnico di Milano
Description: The presentation provides an overview of the design procedures currently available in Europe for FRP-reinforced concrete structures. The European fib, Italian CNR, and French AFGC guidelines are considered. FRP reinforcement characterization, as well as bending, shear, and anchorage requirements are discussed.


Discussion of FRP Design Codes and Guidelines in Brazil and South America

Presented By: Daniel Cardoso
Affiliation: Puc-Rio
