A review of the present and future utilisation of FRP composites in the civil infrastructure with reference to their important in-service properties

The paper discusses the development of the advanced polymer composite material applications in the building and civil/structural infrastructure over the past three to four decades. It endeavours to identify and prioritise the important in-service research areas which are necessary to improve the understanding of the behaviour of FRP materials and FRP structural components. The paper demonstrates the types of structures which have been developed...
