Corrosion of internal reinforcing steel is one of the chief
causes of failure of concrete structures. Inevitably concrete
will crack, creating a direct avenue for chlorides to begin
oxidizing the steel rebar. Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP’s)
are a proven and successful alternative reinforcing that will
give structures a longer service life. A complete spectrum of
authoritative consensus design guides, test methods,
material and construction standards, product procurement
specifications and qualification procedures are available to
the designer and owner to safely and commercially
implement FRP’s in many different types of structures.
