Engineering and Design: Composite Materials for Civil Engineering Structures

Abstract

This engineer technical letter provides basic information and references on background, evaluation, and design of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) materials to assist structural design engineers who are considering the use of FRP on civil works projects. This information will help the engineer evaluate the suitability of FRP materials for structural applications, and will be useful in preparing performance specifications for procurement of suitable composite components and structures.
