Event overview Increasingly, fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite bars are being used to reinforce concrete structures, as their anticorrosion and other benefits over traditional steel reinforcement become known. This technology clinic has been developed to provide practising Australian engineers and civil engineering firms, as well as engineering students, with the knowledge necessary to design concrete structures with FRP reinforcing bars. It will also provide an update on global applications and the development of the Australian Standard for the design of concrete structures using FRP. It will be presented by world-leading experts in innovative use of FRP composite materials in construction: Context The case for the adoption of non-corrosive reinforcements for new concrete structures is strong. In Australia, the environments are severe to use steel as reinforcement to concrete structures from the viewpoint of corrosion damage. In fact, repair or replacement costs associated with concrete degradation and spalling in Australia are estimated at $13 billion dollars each year. This cost is anticipated to increase further due to the increasing carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and relative humidity in the coastal region as well as parts of inland Australia. Thus there are now thousands of examples of applications throughout the world and a growing list of infrastructure projects successfully implementing FRP reinforced concrete in Australia. PRESENTERS Professor Brahim Benmokrane (FRSC, FACI, FCSCE, FIIFC, FCAE, FEIC), an internationally renowned leader on the innovative use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials in construction. Allan Manalo is Associate Professor at the School of Civil Engineering and Surveying at the University of Southern Queensland and a key researcher at the university’s Centre for Future Materials.
