- Abstract
- One of the impediments to the expansion of the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for the rehabilitation of structures is the lack of design standards, which is the subject of this workshop. By bringing together researchers from academia, practitioners from industry and regulators from government, it aims at providing a snapshot of the state of the practice and establishing research needs to develop national standards on the use of FRP composites for the rehabilitation of concrete and masonry structures. The workshop included a plenary session where nine speakers defined the issues and established a framework for the discussion. Next, participants broke out into three separate sessions, on columns, beams and slabs, and walls, respectively.
