Seismic Strengthening of Concrete Buildings using FRP Composites

Over the past three decades, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have emerged as an attractive construction material for civil infrastructure, rehabilitation, and renewal. These advanced materials have been successfully used for reinforcing new structures as well as the strengthening/rehabilitation of existing buildings and bridges. The use of FRP composites, analysis and design, and techniques for installation are continually being researched and it is anticipated that the use of these advanced materials will continue to grow to meet the demands of the construction industry. This CD-ROM consists of eight papers that were presented by American Concrete Institute Committee 440 at the Spring Convention in Atlanta, Georgia in April 2007.
