Abstract

This report presents recommended construction specifications to facilitate highway agencies’ use of bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for the repair and retrofit of concrete structures. These specifications cover the construction of FRP systems used as externally bonded or near surface-mounted reinforcement to enhance axial, shear, or flexural strength of a concrete member. These specifications are supplemented by a construction process control manual that provides a program for assuring a consistent and uniform control of quality and regulatory requirements. The material contained in this report will be of immediate interest to engineers, inspectors, contractors, suppliers, and others involved in the repair and retrofit of concrete structures using FRP composites.
