The Advantages of FRP Technology Over Traditional Concrete and Steam Repair Solutions
Frida Ghitis: FRP technology is two to three times stronger than steel tensile reinforcing. She says it can be applied directly on the tension face of an element, giving you maximum depth for your moment arm. Ghitis: It gives you a pretty good moment capacity because of the having that high moment arm also. You kind of get rid of some of the cons of steel Tensile reinforcing with the corrosion.
