reinforcement. Common uses for FRPs generally occur in the aerospace,automotive and marine industries as low weight, high strength materials. The durability is afunction of both the matrix and the fiber making them much more durable than the fibers on theirown. The strength, however, is more influenced by the fibers making them very strong intension. FRPs are used in civil infrastructure for reinforcement for concrete patching, cables onbridges, and complete bridges. The major advantages to FRPs over steel are that the material canbe more specifically tailored to the loads for the system, a resistance to corrosion, an increase inmaterial lifetime and durability, and a decrease in construction time and cost. Materialsengineers are researching ways to
