The fib (International Federation for Structural Concrete) Task Group 9.3 'FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) Reinforcement for Concrete Structures' comprises experts in the field of FRP as structural reinforcement for concrete concrete structures. The work performed by fib TG9.3 is published as fib Bulletins. Meetings are held twice a year. The group forms part of Commission 9 'Reinforcing and Prestressing Materials and Systems'. The task group exists of about 60 members, representing most European universities, research institutes and industrial companies working in the field of advanced composite reinforcement for concrete structures, as well as members of North-America and Asia. The main objectives of TG9.3 are: 1. The elaboration of design guidelines in accordance with the design format of the Model Code and Eurocode 2. 2. Link with other initiatives regarding material testing and characterization & development of standard test methods. 3. Participation in the international forum in the field of advanced composite reinforcement, stimulating the use of FRP for concrete structures. 4. Guidance on practical execution of concrete structures reinforced/prestressed/upgraded by FRP. The work of fibTG9.3 is organized in 2 working groups: :: FRP reinforcement (internal FRP group) :: FRP strengthening (EBR group) |
