Abstract:
This two-part series discusses various activities taking place around the world to make the technology of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement for concrete structures accessible to the construction industry. Part 1 focuses on initiatives for acceptance and implementation of FRP reinforcement in four countries: Brazil, Iran, Italy, and New Zealand.
