Funded Activity Summary

Reusable Fire-Resistant Column Rehabilitation with Fibre Reinforced Polymer. The application of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structural rehabilitation is sometimes challenged or opposed due to the limitation of its fire resistance. This project aims to solve the fire resistance problem of FRP in column jacketing work using innovative approaches. The proposed scheme will be developed by using advanced materials and mechanical fastening technology. It can ensure structural serviceability of FRP jackets during a fire. And after the fire, the proposed jacketing scheme is reusable by applying a new layer of epoxy. The project is expected to advance the theory and technologies in structural rehabilitation. It will also provide significant benefits to the construction industry via sustainable construction.
