14.11 General
Properties of FRP for use as reinforcement in concrete vary with the type of
fi
bres, the resin and the manufacturing process. For the design using these
materials, their properties should be established with certainty. The di
ff
erence
of modulus of elasticity of FRP from that of steel and its in
uence on the
design for serviceability are presented in this chapter. The basic assumptions
and equations adopted in calculation of stresses, strains and displacements of
steel-reinforced concrete structures apply when FRP is used.
