Abstract:
ACI Subcommittee 440-M, FRP-Repair of Masonry Structures, is sponsoring this technical session focusing on various applications of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems for masonry structures. Presentations relate to the FRP strengthening of existing masonry elements, and the use of FRP bars as internal reinforcement in new masonry construction. Current developments in design guides are presented, including international coverage of research and application. The goal of this session is to present the current state of the art in research and practice on the use of FRP systems to strengthen existing masonry structures, and to reinforce new masonry construction.
