FRP
What is FRP?
; fiber-reinforced polymer
is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres.
General Advantages of FRP
- Non-corrosive nature and impervious to chemical attack
​
- Longitudinal tensile strength is greater than steel
​
- Manufacturing processes are versatile and mechanical properties are adjustable
​
- Low transverse resistance undergrinding: Cutting ability as temporary reinforcement
​
- 1/4th weight of steel: Reduction of dead load, easier handling for quicker construction
​
- Transparent to magnetic fields & radio frequencies
​
- Electrical and thermal Non-Conduction (fiberglass)
​
- High fatigue resistance
Key
Advantages
For Applications In The Construction Industry
CURRENT
​
- Time + Labour Saving = Cost Saving
​
- Light Weight
FRP's add limited dead load to existing construction
​
- Easy Handling
FRP's are saving labours to erected
​
- Quick Erection
FRP's can be fast implemented due to modular, pre-fabricated, and light weight units.
​
- Versatile To Shapes
FRP's have no limitation on object shapes
FUTURE
​
- Long Service Life = Cost Saving
​
- Good Durability
Excellent resistance to chemicals and weathering
General
Disadvantage
- Slightly higher initial costs
- A brittle material
- Can be fire retardant, but not non-contractors
- Limited experience by design professionals and contractors
- Lack of data on long-term field performance
- Absence of full spectrum of codes and specification
Insights
Design and engineering shall fully understand the materials and mechanics, exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses and make something difference.
