Description

Description

Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) Reinforcements have become one of the most used construction materials during the last decade. ACI-440 Committee is leading the writing of design standards and guidelines and is sponsoring these full-sessions. Four 2-hours sessions will highlight and collect the most recent research, development, and application of FRP-Reinforcements in the concrete industry. Numerous important topics related to external and internal FRP-reinforcements will be presented, including in this Part 1: bond strength, mechanical splices, and development length properties of FRP reinforcing bars, and strengthening methods, anchoring methods, and non-destructive testing methods that apply to FRP wrap material.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss the bond properties of GFRP bars embedded conventional Portland cement concrete and concrete with various levels of fly ash replacement

• Explain results of recent research concerning FRP reinforcing bar mechanical splice and development length properties and discuss any comparisons made between FRP bar and deformed steel bar splice and development length properties

• Discuss how FRP reinforcing material was used to strengthen deteriorated concrete bridge girders

• Describe anchoring techniques of FRP strengthening material (in the form of FRP wrap material) to existing concrete elements that are applied in lab tests.
