Abstract | Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich systems as primary load-bearing elements are relatively new concepts in lightweight civil infrastructure. These systems offer a combination of light weight, high strength, thermal insulation for some types, and service-life benefits. Recent developments and applications have demonstrated that these composite systems have emerged as a cost-effective alternative, especially when each material component is appropriately designed. Still, some issues and challenges need to be addressed if FRP systems are to gain widespread use in civil infrastructure. This paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art research, development, and applications of FRP sandwich systems. It also identifies the challenges and future opportunities for the broad use of these advanced systems in civil engineering and construction. |
