Abstract:
A unique complex of mudflow protection facilities was recently constructed to protect the city of Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, using concrete reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcement (GFRP). The project’s specifications and design provisions followed current Russian standards for fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcement, and the project was completed on time and under budget.
