Abstract text:
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are currently finding a large use in many civil engineering areas. They are utilized in all composites structures with special electric and magnetic and corrosion resistance requirements, bridge decks, strengthening and rehabilitation of old structures of various destination and as reinforcement for concrete members. The authors present their experience with teaching of FRP composites as part of civil engineering curricula, some research associated projects and practical applications of these advanced materials. The teaching procedures, combined with national and international projects are presented and some demonstration projects implemented since 70s are discussed. Also the involvement of industry in teaching and understanding composites is underlined.
