Summary: | Fibre reinforced polymer composites have been used for many years in the aircraft and shipbuilding industries. They are now being used in a variety of construction applications where their light weight, high strength, stiffness, durability, and ease of installation makes them cost-effective. This is particularly the case in the repair and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. This book provides design guidance in the use of fibre reinforced polymer composites, based on the results of two major programmes funded by the DETR. |
