These fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems are simply defined as high-strength and lightweight reinforcements created by combining carbon or E-glass fibers with a polymer material. Traditionally, FRP has been used in the civil, aerospace and automotive industries for applications requiring high strength-to- weight ratios and rigidity. More recently, the performance characteristics of FRP strengthening have become increasingly popular in construction and retrofit applications, specifically in aging, damaged or overloaded concrete structures.

Advantages of this system:

• Economically increase capacity without significant weight or mass
• Extremely high tensile strength
• Very lightweight and user-friendly installation
• Non-corrosive
• Low aesthetic impact
• Compatible with many finishes and protective coatings
• Many times it is the most economical choice given the reduced prep and labor costs
