Research and design guidelines for the construction of fiber-reinforced polymer reinforced concrete structures under fire exposure: A brief review

摘要

This article presents the state-of-the-art literature review for the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer and performance of fiber-reinforced polymer reinforced concrete structures exposed to high temperatures. The article is organized into six parts. They are thermo-mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, bond characteristics of fiber-reinforced polymers at high temperatures, fire reaction properties of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, fire protection methods, performance of fiber-reinforced polymer reinforced concrete structures under fire conditions, and design codes. The design codes presented herein are that of American Concrete Institute and the Canada Standards Association. Sections pertaining to fiber-reinforced polymer fire design in these codes are discussed, including the future developments for enhancing the performance of fiber-reinforced polymer reinforced concrete structures under elevated temperatures.
