As structural engineers face the ongoing challenge of maintaining and restoring aging infrastructure, understanding the latest materials and techniques is essential for ensuring the longevity and safety of these structures. The session will begin with an in-depth look at advanced grouts, including construction and post-tensioning varieties. We will also cover the unique properties of Fiber Reinforced Polymers, their versatility in strengthening and rehabilitating concrete elements, and practical application techniques. Participants will have a comprehensive understanding of how advanced grouts and FRPs can be strategically employed to address common and complex issues in concrete repair.
