One of the impediments to the expansion of the use of
fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for the
rehabilitation of structures is the lack of design
standards, which is the subject of this workshop. By
bringing together researchers from academia,
practitioners from industry and regulators from
government, it aims at providing a snapshot of the state
of the practice and establishing research needs to
develop national standards on the use of FRP composites
for the rehabilitation of concrete and masonry
structures. The workshop included a plenary session
where nine speakers defined the issues and established a
framework for the discussion. Next, participants broke
out into three separate sessions, on columns, beams and
slabs, and walls, respectively. Areas in need of further
research include anchorage of FRP to beams and walls,
ductility of beams and walls reinforced with FRP,
durability, material safety factors, fire resistance,
and nondestructive evaluation methods for quality
assurance of field installation. The workshop
participants encouraged NIST to be active in researching
solutions to all the above issues and to work closely
with standards writing organizations, such as ACI, ASTM,
ASCE, AASHTO in developing the technical bases for
standards for the use of FRP composites in the
rehabilitation of civil infrastructure. In particular,
the participants would like to see NIST take a leading
role in tests of FRP-reinforced concrete and masonry
structures subjected simultaneously to fire and loads;
to serve as a national data center for FRP material
properties, laboratory tests and field performance; and
to develop a comprehensive Handbook on Structural Repair
with FRP similar in scope to the EUROCOMP Design Code
and Handbook (1996).
