This webinar provides an overview of the principles for FRP strengthening and an update on the FRP section in the upcoming Eurocode 2, second generation, before delving into how to assess feasibility for using FRP as a remediation option for historic concrete structures. Experts on the field provide case studies to showcase common pitfalls and best practices for its implementation on site, as well as quality assurance considerations and a reflection on the positive sustainability implications of its application for strengthening.
Understand the principles behind designing systems for flexural, shear and column strengthening
Get an update on the FRP section of the second generation of Eurocode 2
Learn the economic benefits of using carbon-fibre as a strengthening solution
Discover the societal and sustainability implications of FRP-based strengthening of existing concrete structures
Hear case studies that showcase the main forms of carbon fibre materials used in structural strengthening and how they are applied on site, including practical advice on successful installation and quality assurance
Engineers involved in the assessment and retrofit of historic concrete structures
Designers interested in the practical implementation of advanced composite as a retrofit solution
Academic researchers and students wishing to stay ahead of the curve in FRP science
Antony's research involves strengthening concrete structures FRPs. He co-authored two editions of the Concrete Society's TR55, UK's design guidance for strengthening concrete structures, and is UK's principal expert on the Eurocode 2 committee, responsible for drafting the new appendix on strengthening concrete structures using FRP.
Steve is Sika’s Senior Technical Manager for structural refurbishment and flooring teams. He has a degree in Materials Engineering and an Engineering Doctorate from Loughborough University. He has been working in the construction materials sector in various roles for 18 years and with FRP structural strengthening for just over two years.
In his role at NCC, Kunal provides consultancy services to private corporations, government agencies and SMEs, helping them to adopt innovation towards sustainable infrastructure and faster achievement of net-zero targets. Kunal's PhD at the University of Bath focused on using composites for strengthening and life extension of concrete structures.
A chartered engineer, Florence has experience on a range of projects, including large social housing developments, commercial refurbishment and extension projects. She has also conducted a number of high level desk studies on existing housing blocks to determine their likely construction and load bearing capacity. Her experience includes designing with different materials, including timber, steel, concrete, and post-tensioned stone.
