Abstract

To avoid corrosion problems, Fibre Reinforced Polymer bars have recently been developed for use as an alternaternative reinforcement for concrete structures. This paper presents an overview of the material characteristics of the new reinforcement and examines their effect on a number of design aspects. It is concluded that FRP bars have a role to play in construction along side conventional reinforcement. However, they should be used for the imaginative re-design of elements by capitalising on their advantages and not necessarily for direct replacement of steel reinforcement.
