This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The FRP systems varied in material types, laminate properties, application procedures, reinforcing schemes, and repair design procedures and assumptions. The specimens were tested to failure to determine moment and shear capacities, as well as deformation and ductility behavior of the undamaged, damaged, and repaired girders. Through experimental and analytical comparisons of the behavior of the repaired girders to the undamaged girder, the specific FRP systems were evaluated for acceptance to the FDOT Quality Products List. The FRP systems were evaluated structurally based on their ability to restore the undamaged shear and moment capacity of the prestressed concrete girder, type of failure mode, cost of repair system including installation, and ease of installation.
