Standard Details

Description: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems can be used for strengthening masonry structures and masonry elements among other options such as external steel plates, section enlargement with reinforced concrete (RC) overlays or shotcrete, steel bracing, and internal steel reinforcement. FRP systems offer advantages over traditional strengthening techniques: they are lightweight, relatively easy to install, and are corrosion-resistant. Due to the characteristics of FRP materials as well as the behavior of masonry members strengthened with FRP, specific guidance on the use of these systems is needed. This document offers a description of the unique material properties of FRP and committee recommendations on the engineering, construction, and inspection of FRP systems used to strengthen masonry. These guidelines are based on the knowledge gained from experimental research, analytical work, and field applications of FRP systems used to strengthen masonry structures

Why is it a Secure PDF?

To protect the intellectual property rights (IPR) of Standards Developing Organizations (SDO's), we have implemented a security policy that utilizes a free Adobe Acrobat plug-in from FileOpen Systems, Inc. This security feature prevents the reproduction and redistribution of downloaded documents.

What are the securities?

  • Reproduction and Redistribution Restricted: PDF files will be "bound" to the computer on which it was first opened. Once a PDF file has been bound to a computer, it can be opened only from that computer.
  • Viewing Restrictions: You will be required to download the free plug-in to view any secured PDF document. There is no limit to the number of times a document may be viewed on your computer.
  • Printing Restrictions: The plug-in limits the number of times the document may be printed to two copies. Since printing a part will be considers as one print, we recommend you print the entire document.
