Abstract

A proposed model specification for FRP composite materials for use in civil engineering structural systems is described in this article. The model specification provides a classification systems for FRP materials, describes admissible constituent materials and limits on selected constituent volumes, describes tests for specified mechanical and physical properties, specifies limiting values of selected properties in the as-received condition and in a saturated state, and provides a protocol for predicting long-term property values subjected to accelerated aging based on the Arrhenius model. The model specification is included as an appendix to the article.
