Behavior, Design, Analysis and Construction of FRP Reinforced Concrete (RC) Columns and Piers

October 26, 2029 to October 29, 2029

Sponsor(s): ACI Committees 440 and 441

Description:
Meeting: The technical session “Behavior, Design, Analysis and Construction of FRP Reinforced Concrete (RC) Columns and Piers” will be held at the ACI Concrete Convention – Fall 2025 in Baltimore, MD, USA; sponsored by ACI Committee 440, Fiber-Reinforced Polymer reinforcement, and Joint ACI-ASCE Committee 441, Reinforced Concrete Columns.

Solicited: The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in concrete columns and bridge piers has gained significant momentum as a sustainable and corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. This session invites high-quality contributions that address recent advances in the behavior, design methodologies, numerical modeling, experimental validation, and construction practices of FRP-RC columns and piers under various loading scenarios, including axial, lateral, seismic, and environmental conditions.

Requirements: Presentation title and abstract for a 15-minute presentation should be sent to M. Shahria Alam, The University of British Columbia, shahria.alam@ubc.ca.

Deadline: Abstracts are due by May 31, 2025.
