The near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP technique has received attention worldwide over the externally bonded FRP strengthening technique. Strengthening of a concrete girders using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to flexural and shear…

In recent years the circumferential wrapping with externally-bonded carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites has proven to be a promising method for strengthening concrete structures. This is particularly valuable when repairing concrete…

Strict environmental requirements and the standard specification and procedure for installing carbon fibre bridge strengthening system have naturally led to the works being undertaken during warmer months and on sections of the bridge that have been…

The global use of FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) strengthening systems for bridge infrastructure has increased over the last 40 years, typically in North America, Europe and Japan. After a slow beginning, its

Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) has engaged Opus International Consultants (Opus) to undertake the detailed design and preparation of tender documentation for the bridge over Uarbry Causeway on the Golden Highway (HW27), 64.4km west…

In this paper, two methods of FRP applications were carried out to study the fatigue life performance of CFRP laminates bonded to RC concrete block, by mean of investigating the influence of bond behavior application under cyclic loadings.

Digital Engineering (DE) / Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been identified as an important emerging technology, with the potential to streamline processes throughout the design, construction, and operation and maintenance life cycle. The…

As bridges age and standards evolve, it has become increasingly necessary to strengthen existing bridges as a much cheaper option than replacing bridges as a whole.

The Boggabri Maules Creek Rail project will connect the existing Werris Creek to Mugindi railway line to the existing Boggabri Coal Mine and the new Maules Creek Coal Mine.The railway line will provide Boggabri Coal Mine with improved logistics,…

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are commonly used in the aerospace and marine industries. Due to their inherent advantages, FRP composites are increasingly making their way into civil engineering applications. In the field of bridge…
