Fiber-Reinforced Polymer: Definition and Characteristics

Fiber-reinforced polymer

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebar is a relatively new and innovative type of reinforcing material used in concrete construction. it is usually termed as composite materials. FRP materials exhibit anisotropic properties, with high tensile strength only in the direction of the reinforcing fibers. This anisotropic behavior impacts the shear strength, dowel action, and bond performance of … Read more
