ISO 14484:2013 PDF Download

ISO 14484:2013 sets forth guidelines for the design, verification, and assessment of concrete structures that incorporate fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. These guidelines cover various FRP applications, such as internal reinforcements, external tendons, externally bonded sheets or plates, and near-surface mounted reinforcement. The standard aims to facilitate the international harmonization of FRP-based design approaches for un-reinforced, conventionally reinforced, and pre-stressed concrete structures.

By adhering to ISO 14484:2013, engineers and designers can ensure that the performance of FRP elements in concrete structures meets the required standards. The standard provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating the safety and structural integrity of FRP systems and offers a sound basis for designing efficient and reliable concrete structures using FRP materials.

ISO 14484:2013 is applicable to a wide range of projects, including new construction, retrofitting, and repair of existing structures. It takes into account factors such as loadings, deformations, durability, and long-term behavior to ensure the effective use of FRP materials in concrete structures. The standard also considers manufacturing and installation aspects, as well as quality assurance and control measures for FRP components.
