The goal of the design is that the pier has maintenance free service life of 100 years and is flexible in function and location. The hull concept for the proposed floating pier consisted of posttensioned lightweight concrete panels reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) grids for crack control and toughness. The concept of CFRP grid reinforcement has been deferred because of the high cost of CFRP and the unknowns related to the durability of CFRP reinforcement exposed to marine environment.","PeriodicalId":354815,"journal":{"name":"SP-215: Field Applications of FRP Reinforcement: Case Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115711118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Presented are two applications of FRP bars for the strengthening of URM walls. In the first application, near surface mounted (NSM) FRP bars are used as flexural reinforcement to strengthen URM walls to resist out-of-plane forces. In the second application, a retrofitting technique denominated FRP Structural Repointing is described. Since the inception of FRP for use to accomplish seismically retrofitting on bridge columns in 1989, composites have been successfully used in a wide variety of bridges and structures. FRP now have the benefit of building codes which describe their use, and this gives engineers the comfort to specify FRP in their projects.","PeriodicalId":354815,"journal":{"name":"SP-215: Field Applications of FRP Reinforcement: Case Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121085276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper discusses the long term durability of the repair of the containment structure that will store the reactor for the next 50 to 80 years. The durability objective of the repair was attained by using state of the art technologies for the replacement of the secondary concrete, together with the use of FRP materials for securing and protecting the concrete repairs.
