Composite Materials in Bridge Repair
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper seeks to demonstrate how advanced polymer matrix composite materials developed for high-performance aircraft can offer major advantages for repairing ageing infrastructures. It focuses on the development and first applications of advanced rehabilitation, retrofitting, strengthening, and field monitoring technologies for civil engineering structures based on unique combinations of corrosion-resistant fibre-reinforced polymers and integrated fibre optic structural sensing.
