Abstract:In recent decades, Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) have shown tremendous potential for retrofitting or repairing existing deficient or damaged concrete structural elements due to their superior properties such as high strength, corrosion resistance and ease of application. However, concern arises about the vulnerability of FRP material to combustion under fire condition, since they are usually applied to the exterior surface of structural members. Damage of the FRP strengthening layer due to high temperature i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
