2. INTRODUCTION

3. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite
materials are being used predominately by
military and aerospace industries. However, the
growing use of advance composite materials in
civil construction warrant a special mention.

4. Polymer composites are
multi-phase materials
produced by combining
reinforcing fibers and
matrix with fillers and
additives.

5. WHY COMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR
CIVIL CONSTRUCTION?

6. DISTINCTIVE
PROPERTIES OF
FRP COMPOSITES
Adaptability to different
environmental conditions
High strength-to-weight ratio
Corrosion-resistant and long
service life
High strength and stiffness
Cost-effective
