Strength and deflection behavior of spun concrete poles with CFRP reinforcement

摘要

Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement shows immense potential in civil engineering applications as an alternative to traditional steel reinforcement because of its unique properties. CFRP is high strength, lightweight, noncorrosive, and nonmagnetic. The improved durability of CFRP-reinforced concrete has caused CFRP to gain considerable use and attention in the reinforced concrete field.
