Report on Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Reinforcement for Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
The ACI 440R-07 standard provides comprehensive information on the applications and use of FRP composites as reinforcement for concrete structures. It highlights the various ways in which FRP can be employed, including as internal reinforcement through prestressing, as well as for external strengthening of concrete and masonry structures. The standard goes into detail regarding the material properties of FRP composites, including the resins and fibers used, and discusses current knowledge and best practices for FRP applications.
The standard also addresses important considerations such as durability issues and the effects of extreme events, such as fire and blast. This highlights the importance of ensuring that FRP reinforcement offers long-term performance and can withstand unforeseen circumstances. By providing this comprehensive information, the ACI 440R-07 standard serves as a valuable resource for engineers, architects, and other professionals involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of concrete structures using FRP reinforcement.
