Guidelines on the Use of the Concrete Building Structures Reinforced with Continuous Fiber Reinforced Plastic Reinforcement

Abstract

The New Material Comprehensive Project sponsored by MOC has finished this March with a 5 year duration. In this paper outline of 3 items in guidelines of the use of the concrete building structures reinforced with continuous fiber reinforcement, which is developed at the Project, is described. The items are the design guideline of ordinary concrete structures, the main points of the use of prestressed concrete construction and the use of 2 and 3 dimensional fiber reinforcement. The objectives of the Project are to develop the use of continuous fiber reinforcement as substitute of steel reinforcement and tendon.
