Funded Activity Summary

Development of innovative fibre reinforced polymer plating techniques to retrofit existing reinforced concrete structures. The demand for retrofitting reinforced concrete structures in Australia is estimated at $500 million per annum. However, with improved understanding of emerging retrofitting techniques the cost of retrofitting may be reduced. The innovative retrofitting techniques investigated in this project will address the shortcomings of existing techniques with particular emphasis on the ductility of the system which is a particularly important characteristic when retrofitting for earthquake or explosive loads. It also reinforces Australia's high international standing in developing innovative retrofitting alternatives using advanced materials in this rapidly developing area.
