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

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.

Margaret Cooke considers what the structural engineering profession can learn from other sectors to create a culture where women and men can flourish equally at work.
