Description
This is a recorded virtual seminar from September 24, 2024.
This course is jointly sponsored by NEx: An ACI Center of Excellence for Nonmetallic Building Materials and the American Concrete Institute (ACI).
This course will provide an in-depth exploration of innovative applications of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites in structural rehabilitation and strengthening. Attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge techniques for repairing and reinforcing various structures, from marine piles in harsh environments to seismic retrofitting of buildings and ensuring the safety of bridge structures. The course will also introduce the new ACI CODE 440.13-24, which establishes design methodologies for FRP-based repairs in structural concrete. This course is designed for engineers, architects, and construction professionals looking to enhance their knowledge of FRP composites and their application in modern structural engineering.
