 Abstract

This "designers' manual" is made during the TIDO-course AR0533 Innovation & Sustainability. Fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) have been used in many applications over the years, from new construction to retrofitting. They are lightweight, no-corrosive, exhibit high specific strength and specific stiffness, are easily constructed, and can be adapted to specific requirements being ideal for a great variety of applications. Taking advantage of these characteristics, FRP composites have been used in new construction and rehabilitation of structures as reinforcement in concrete, bridge decks, modular structures, formwork, and external reinforcement for strengthening and seismic upgrade. This manual discusses about Glass fiber reinforced polymer as a construction material regarding its applications. The definition of GFRP composites is presented and their properties as well. Applications of the material are presented and developed. Information is given on the general level as well as cost estimation, product performance, production technique and assembling method, accompanied with images.
