“…They used CFRP unbonded prestressed plates with wireless sensors to strengthen fatigue prone areas of the bridge [69], as shown in Figure 6f. Other FRP strengthening techniques for bridges are discussed in [70]. FRP strengthening can be applied in-situ using hand layup or can be prefabricated off-site in a factory.…”

This paper reviews Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites in Civil Engineering applications. Three FRP types are used in Structural Engineering: FRP profiles for new construction, FRP rebars and FRP strengthening systems. Basic materials (fibres and resins), manufacturing processes and material properties are discussed. The focus of the paper is on all-FRP new-build structures and their joints. All-FRP structures use pultruded FRP profiles. Their connections and joints use bolting, bonding or a combination of both. For plate-to-pate connections, effects of geometry, fibre direction, type and rate of loading, bolt torque and bolt hole clearance, and washers on failure modes and strength are reviewed. FRP beam-columns joints are also reviewed. The joints are divided into five categories: web cleated, web and flange cleated, high strength, plate bolted and box profile joints. The effect of both static and cyclic loading on joints is studied. The joints’ failure modes are also discussed.

“…These two materials, combined in an appropriate proportion prior to a multifarious procedure to constitute the innovative high-performance FRP material, are used in reinforced concrete structures in the form of laminates, rods, grids, and sheets. Externally bonded FRP sheets and strips (EBR) and near-surface mounting FRP strips (NSM) are the two most commonly used strengthening techniques [52,53]. Due to the ease of application, externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) is the most widely used strengthening method.…”

Strengthening and rehabilitation have been widely implemented for many years to extend the service life of reinforced concrete structures. The paper begins with a comprehensive review of the fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) utilization on strengthening particularly over the traditional materials formerly used in practice with respect to materials, manufacturing, operation, construction, and maintenance phases, as well as the engineering and environmental performance of such materials. Carbon and Glass FRP, the most frequently used strengthening materials, are particularly designated in the study and are employed to conduct an environmental performance evaluation using the previously published data in the literature. The paper then investigates the punching shear strength of flat slab-column connections strengthened with externally bonded FRP by means of a nominated database comprising 57 number of data points harvested from the recent literature. The database is used in the evaluation of the test data with TS 500 code equations and the recent modification of Chen and Li. The study enabled the key factors affecting the punching shear strength of such connections to be emphasized and highlighted the fact that the TS 500 code equations fall conservative in predicting the punching shear strength of slab-column connections strengthed with FRP. The study is novel as it provides a comprehensive review of the FRP as a strengthening material with regards to environmental sustainability and also provides an insight into the structural implications of this material by evaluating the current TS 500 code provisions and recent modifications.

“…These materials are gradually gaining recognition from civil engineers as a new construction material [ 28 ]. Over the next few years, they proved successful in several areas of application: mainly in the form of sheets and strips for reinforcing existing bridge structures, as well as reinforcing bars, which replace the traditionally used steel reinforcement in concrete [ 29 ].…”

Numerical Investigation of the Dynamic Responses of Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composite Bridge Beam Subjected to Moving Vehicle

In modern industry, heavy traditional materials are being substituted with light and strong fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials. Bridges and railroads made of composite laminates are considerably affected by traffic loads. Therefore, it is very important to analyse this effect which would find practical applications in engineering designs. This paper explains the theoretical formulation that governs the dynamic response of a composite beam subjected to a moving load. The governing equations for the dynamic effect on the laminated composite bridge beam are explained here. The main theories in the micro–macro modelling of composite laminates are also described in the paper. Within the macro modelling, the Classical Laminate and Shear Deformation Laminate Theory of beams are presented. The symmetric cross-ply laminated bridge, made of boron/epoxy is under consideration. The computational two-dimensional model of the vehicle is adopted. The governing equations for the dynamic effect on the laminated composite bridge beam are explained. The calculation of the time response of the bridge for the characteristic speeds of the vehicle is performed in the environment of the MATLAB software. The maximum dynamic magnification factor for the dynamic analysis of a composite beam is found.
