FRP Fabrics

Confinement Strengthening

Shear Strengthening

Flexural Strengthening

Seismic Strengthening

Change failure mode to more ductile failure

 

Structural Benefits

  • High strength/weight and stiffness/weightproperties
  • Controllable directional stiffness & strength
  • Reduction of shear deformations
  • Good fatigue resistance
  • Short “development lengths”

Life-Cycle Benefits

  •   Increased corrosion resistance
  • Resistance to chemical attack
  • Thin (i.e., unobtrusive)

Economic Benefits

  • Low installation cos
  • Fast turn around
