Abstract

Different applications of fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) for external strengthening in civil construction are reviewed in this paper. Experimental as well as analytical and numerical research contributions have been focussed in the review. The main structural components such as beams, columns and beam-column joints, have been reviewed and structural behavior of each component is discussed briefly. Finally, general concluding remarks are made along with possible future directions of research.
