| Description |
The use of FRP in civil enigineering has been growing rapidly in recent years. FRPs have
excellent corrosion resistance in addition to high tensile strength and low modulus of
elasticity. The mechanical characteristics of FRPs are much dependent on the type of binding
agent and the manufacturing process. Also, the low modulus of elasticity of FRP may lead to
increase in deflection and cracking, particularly in large span flexural members. This paper
briefly presents the investigations carried out at Structural Engineering Research Centre
(SERC), Chennai on the performance of FRP wrapping and FRP rebars as reinforcement.
