STRENGTHENING OF STRUCTURES USING CARBON FIBRE/EPOXY COMPOSITES

Innovations in manufacturing and new technologies are based upon new materials and upon new applications which use materials already employed in other industries. This paper shows how high-performance fibre-reinforced composites, utilized for the last 25 years by the aircraft and space industries, may be employed to strengthen existing structures for civil engineering purposes.
