What are FRPs?
FibresProvide strength and stiffness
carbon, glass, aramid, basalt
MatrixProtects and transfers
load between fibres
epoxy, vinyl ester
CompositeFibres and matrix affect short term and long term properties

Where we are!• Huge diversity of Commercial Products• FRP reinforcement market is growing
Internationally• First Generation Design Guidelines in
Europe, North America and Japan• Need for training Engineers• Need for testing standards

Main Design Issues
CONCRETE: 21st Century Superhero - Building a sustainable future London, 22-24 June 2009
Serviceability limit State• Limit on concrete and FRP stress; creep,
stress corrosion, durability• Deflection limitations same as for steel RC
• Eurocode equations OK, new dimensioning rules
• Crack width limitations can be relaxed• Strain based equations OK

• Basic principles of section analysis apply• Concrete crushing or FRP rupture failure
• fib bulletin 40:- Concrete crushing -> Over reinforced- Afmin Mu >Mcr
- γm necessary?

Design for Shear CapacityStrain Approach:

Bond and Tension Stiffening• Design equations (modified from steel)
Research required• Testing• Models• Effect on Tension Stiffening

Design Philosophy Issues• Different predominant failure mode
• Influence of Partial safety factors; failure type• Safety levels
• Structural reliability of FRP RC elements is variable
• Resistance capacity margins• Is there a hierarchy? Should there be?

Resistance Capacity Margins
CONCRETE: 21st Century Superhero - Building a sustainable future London, 22-24 June 2009
Design Philosophy• More economic design• More reliable design• Defined resistance
capacity margins• Can accommodate
innovation
