Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening has become a common technique used by many State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) around the country to address deficiencies with bridge structures. Carbon fiber strengthening systems are routinely used to strengthen pier caps, pier columns, concrete girders, impact damaged girders, and now steel structures. The paper will introduce the audience to the materials and the unique characteristics that make them so prized for repair and strengthening applications in civil infrastructure applications. Their use in bridge projects will be highlighted.
Composite coatings are a class of materials that are described as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) that consist of extremely strong tensile fibers saturated in a binding resin. From the original development as tank bottom lining materials designed to handle surface movement and corrosion, the applications for composite coatings have broadened and moved into the mainstream, with industry-accepted design codes written around their uses and applications.

Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) materials are used to rehabilitate and strengthen structures systems and components including but not limited to concrete bridges, columns, marine piers, metallic and concrete pipes, metallic and concrete piles, parking garages, and even storage tanks structures. The growing appeal of this rehabilitation process consists of two primary purposes; to increase shear and load capacity and repair and prevent corrosion degradation.
