Concrete Reinforced with Fibre Reinforced Plastic

Fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) concrete provides an alternative to steel reinforced concrete. It overcomes corrosion problems, possesses high strength and low stiffness and cracks in the matrix are not detrimental. While more expensive in most cases, it can be justified under special circumstances.
