Fire Performance of Bridge Members Retrofitted with Near-Surface-Mounted Carbon Fiber ReinforcedPolymer Composites, Project Brief.

摘要

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are a promising material for upgrading or repairing existing bridge members. Like other structural components, CFRPretrofitted bridge members are exposed to potential fire hazards. Repaired members must, therefore, demonstrate acceptable fire resistance to ensure adequate structural integrity until travelling vehicles are evacuated
