Design and Construction of Externally Bonded Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Systems for Strengthening Concrete Structures—Guide

This document provides guidance on the design and construction of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems for strengthening concrete structures. It focuses on the use of FRP materials to enhance the structural performance of existing concrete elements, including beams, slabs, columns, and foundations. The guide covers key aspects such as material selection, system design, bonding techniques, quality assurance, and long-term durability considerations. This standard is applicable to engineers, architects, contractors, and other professionals involved in the repair, rehabilitation, or strengthening of concrete structures using FRP systems.
