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 2: comparison of FRP and steel reinforced member moment capacity and modulus of elasticity properties; advantages of strengthening masonry walls with FRP material and substituting masonry wall reinforcement with FRP bars, and using FRP hollow-tube-enclosed concrete composite columns.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss comparison of designs of reinforced concrete beam elements using steel reinforcement and FRP bar reinforcements.

• Explain research on using FRP reinforcement bars for design of deep beams that use dosages basalt fiber or inorganic fiber reinforcement.

• Discuss research regarding applying FRP material as a strengthening material to masonry infill walls to improve lateral load resistance of concrete moment frames with masonry infill walls.

• Describe research on flexural tests for resistance of out-of-plane loads on masonry wall moment capacity reinforced with FRP longitudinal bars.
