FRP Stay-In-Place Forms for Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
ACI SP-257:2008 is a standard that consists of 11 papers presented at two special sessions sponsored by ACI Committee 440 at the ACI Spring Convention in Los Angeles, California. These papers cover various aspects related to FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) stay-in-place forms for concrete structures, including bridge decks, concrete-filled tubes, and girders.
The topics addressed in the papers include surface preparation, bond aspects, fatigue, constructability, confinement, and field applications of FRP forms. Some specific papers in the volume discuss topics such as the efficient use of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) stay-in-place forms for durable concrete bridge decks, the flexural behavior of hybrid composite girders for bridge construction, and the wheel load distribution in concrete bridge decks with FRP stay-in-place forms.
Other papers explore the compressive behavior of reinforced concrete-filled FRP tubes, the seismic behavior and design of reinforced concrete columns confined with FRP stay-in-place formwork, and the wet-bond of concrete to FRP formwork using epoxy adhesive.
