“…It also gives a plastic behaviour in compression when subjected to bending. This type of behaviour increases the impact resistance of aramid fibres [2,78,82]. Due to lower compressive strength (only 20% of the tensile strength), a cautious approach must be taken when using aramid fibres as a compression or flexural reinforcement [8].…”

Fibre-reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) offer various benefits for bridge construction. Lightweight, durability, design flexibility and fast erection in inaccessible areas are their unique selling points for bridge engineering. FRPs are used in four bridge applications: (1) FRP rebars/tendons in concrete; (2) repair and strengthening of existing bridges; (3) new hybrid–FRP bridges with conventional materials and (4) all–FRP composite new bridges made entirely of FRP materials. This paper reviews FRP bridges, including all–FRP and hybrid–FRP bridges. FRP bridges’ history, materials, processes and bridge components—deck, girder, truss, moulded parts and cables/rebars are considered. This paper does not discuss the use of FRP as an architectural element and a strengthening system. While lack of design codes, material specifications and recycling are the major challenges, the high cost of FRPs still remains the most critical barrier to the progress of FRPs in bridges.

The increasing recognition among individuals of the detrimental impact of humanmade substances on the natural world has resulted in the development of more ecologically sound substitutes for ensuring the durability of diverse polymers. Researchers have demonstrated a notable propensity towards a methodology for producing substances that possess the ability to serve as an alternative to artificial compounds. In recent years, there has been a notable surge in demand for composite materials comprising both natural and synthetic fibers for commercial purposes, which has had a significant impact on multiple industrial sectors. Natural fibers are a category of substances that are environmentally degradable and abundantly present in their native ecosystems. The aforementioned materials exhibit characteristics such as economical viability, low mass density, inherent ability to regenerate, biodegradability, and distinctive attributes. The primary aim was to evaluate cost-effective methods for soil stabilization. The study investigates a range of materials that have the potential to enhance soil characteristics, such as polypropylene, fiber glass, and fiber plastic. The text examines the potential of said materials to augment shear strength and ameliorate soil quality through the reduction of plasticity, permeability, and compressibility, as well as the enhancement of soil strength

“…Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) have been used in aerospace, automotive and marine industries since the 1930s [1,2] and have recently been used in buildings and construction applications as well [3,4]. The construction field uses 26% of the global production of FRPs [4][5][6]. Light weight, fatigue resistance, stiffness, high strength-toweight ratio, corrosion resistance, lower maintenance cost over their lifetime and flexibility in design compared to traditional construction materials are the key advantages of FRPs [1,7].…”

This paper presents an experimental program performed on a structural panel fabricated from glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) and a wooden frame. The tested panel consists of a timber frame with the dimensions of 1200 x 600 x 25 mm covered by GFRP layers which were manufactured by a hand-layup process. Tensile and flexure tests were conducted for the GFRP specimens and for GFRP-covered wood sections to evaluate the material properties. The results showed brittle failure under average maximum load of 9.28 kN, average maximum elongation of 7.7 mm and the modulus of elasticity for the GFRP was about 2400 MPa. The obtained bending stress for GFRP-covered wood sections ranged between 90-115 MPa. Additionally, full-scale panels were tested under distributed loads until failure to study their flexural behavior. The experimental results demonstrated good mechanical and physical properties for the presented GFRP-wood panels, which renders the use of such composite GFRP-wood panel promising in prefabricated structures.
