Guide for the design and construction of externally bonded FRP systems for strengthening
concrete structures
Scopes: FRP strengthening systems should be designed to resist tensile forces while maintaining
strain compatibility between the FRP and concrete substrate. FRP reinforcement should not be
relied upon to resist compressive forces.
Minimum requirements:
Minimum concrete compressive strength, fc = 2500 psi
Minimum concrete tensile strength 200 psi.
