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.

This CPD module, sponsored by IDEA StatiCa UK, introduces CBFEM, a method to analyse and design connections of steel structures, which is a synergy of the standard approach to connection design (component method) and finite elements.

Editor-in-Chief, Leroy Gardner, has selected a paper on fatigue analysis of wire arc 3D printed components as his ‘Featured Article’ from Structures Volume 31.
