Industry CPD: Design approach for structural strengthening of reinforced concrete structures using fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP)

This online event aligns with the Reuse part from the Northern Ireland Regional Hub's ‘Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle’ themed 2024 events.

This poster describes a project to enable lower-cost, formwork-free, 3D manufacture of individual concrete elements reinforced with a novel, ultra-high performance, non-corroding fibretendon.

The article explores ways to justify reuse of existing structures through a thorough understanding of the original building structure, and engineer's intent.
