Description / Abstract:
FOREWORD
Guide Specifications for Design of Bonded FRP Systems for
Repair and Strengthening of Concrete Bridge Elements, First
Edition (2012) is based on two National Cooperative Highway
Research Program (NCHRP) reports.
It was primarily developed from NCHRP Report 655,
Recommended Guide Specifications for Repair and Strengthening
of Concrete Bridge Elements (2010). Subsequently, Section 4,
"Members under Shear and Torsion," was modified based on the
results of NCHRP Report 678, Design of FRP Systems for
Strengthening Concrete Girders in Shear (2011).
Additional background information on the Guide Specifications
and specific design examples can be found in the above-mentioned
NCHRP documents.
