Fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) are increasingly used to retrofit concrete structures due to their many desirable properties. Researchers from the University of Exeter report on a series of experiments that apply nonlinear elastic wave spectroscopy to concrete beams strengthened with externally bonded FRP, in order to detect the onset of failure.
