| Summary: | The application of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) in concrete structures has increased quickly in the last
decades due to their excellent corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, ease of installation and good non-magnetization properties especially for structures exposed to aggressive environment. However their low module of elasticity cause excessive deflection and more cracks in the structural elements but the replacement of conventional steel reinforcement with FRP bars has been investigated to overcome the corrosion problem. The study discusses about FRP properties (engineering properties) in detail in order to document an accessible and technically paper for students and engineers to comprehend the behavior of FRP and its suitable applications in civil engineering structures. |
