9 Agenda Introduction FRP (fiber reinforced polymers) - Most common uses for FRP - Design strategy (ACI 440.2R-08) - Installation techniques and QA/QC - FRP limitations & fire protection - Case Studies Conventional Techniques - Section Enlargement - External Post Tensioning New Strengthening Technologies (DUCON micro-reinforced concrete)

10 Strengthening = Upgrading Structural Capacity Why Strengthen?? Construction Defects Design Deficiencies New Loads Deterioration Seismic Upgrades Blast Upgrades

11 Direct Services Design-Development Conceptual designs and associated budgets Specification support Aid in overall engineering and strengthening analysis Site visits Solution/repair strategy Construction Final design calculations and shop drawings (PE stamped/sealed upon request) QA/QC and Safety Program project specific Trained, certified and experienced installers

12 FRP Composite what is it??? FRP = Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composite = two or more materials that when combined create one composite behaving system (fiber + epoxy = composite, with new and distinct properties) OTHER NAMES USED: Carbon fiber Carbon FRP (CFRP) or Glass FRP (GFRP) Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) Fiber wrap Externally bonded FRP reinforcement

13 FRP Applications Strengthening Typically Carbon FRP (CFRP) Upgrade flexure and/or shear capacity of member CFRP = higher strength, higher material cost Restoration Typically Glass FRP (GFRP) Corrosion protection, spall protection GFRP = lower strength, lower material cost NOTE: CFRP and GFRP = lightweight, low profile, corrosive resistant, durable

14 FRP Applications

15 Rules of Thumb flexural strengthening with CFRP 12 CFRP strip 1 layer, 12 wide = (1)-#5 rebar (60ksi) Typical application uses CFRP strips of 8, 12 or 24 width Typical application uses 1 to 4 layers of CFRP CFRP may provide up to 40% additional capacity to an element Typical application requires 20%-25% additional capacity CFRP does not stiffen an element i.e. does not aid in reducing deflections or aid in satisfying service conditions of an element

20 LOAD FRP Strengthening Limits ACI 440.2R Supplemental Reinforcement Member with FRP New Ultimate Loads: 1.2DL+1.6LL New 440.2R Loads: 1.1DL+0.75LL Original RC Member DEFLECTION Existing strength without FRP should be able to support demand from load case of 1.1DL+0.75LL (ACI 440.2R, Eq. 9-1)

21 LOAD FRP Strengthening Limits Fire Event Supplemental Reinforcement Member with FRP New Ultimate Loads: 1.2DL+1.6LL New Service Loads: 1.0DL+1.0LL (due to change) Original RC Member 2Hr Fire Reduced Capacity DEFLECTION Existing strength without FRP should be able to support typical service loads (1.0DL+1.0LL) after 2Hr Fire

22 Fire Protection Strategies Protect FRP for Applicable Burn Characteristics per ASTM E84 Intumescent Topcoat (Flame spread & smoke density) Intumescent (Burning- ASTM E84)
