Guidance on installing, inspecting and monitoring FRP strengthened concrete structures

摘要

If correctly specified and installed, FRP strengthening systems should be very durable. The technique is highly dependent on the quality of workmanship and so testing must be carried out during installation as well as subsequently, The programme of inspection and monitoring must be agreed with the owner (or occupier) of the structure. It may be necessary to provide 'dummy' specimens for subsequent testing and to make special arrangements made for access to the structure.
