Abstract

FRP are being used extensively in the rehabilitation and retrofitting of existing structures which are in seismic zones so, they act as an external strengthening material because of their properties like high strength to weight and corrosion resistance, light weight and high durability. This paper deals with comparative study on different types of fibre reinforced polymers like Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymers (GFRP), Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP), Aramid Fibre Reinforced Polymers (AFRP), Textile Fibre Reinforced Polymers (TFRP), Woven Roving Fibre Reinforced Polymers (WFRP), Natural Fibre Reinforced Polymers (NFRP) and steel fibre reinforced polymers (SFRP).also the suitability of the various FRPs for the different performance requirements such as flexural, shear, torsion and combined forces.
