The aim of this state-of-the-art report is to present information to enable the effective specification and application of fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) in construction. It will be of particular interest to those with little previous knowledge of fibre reinforced materials, or their application in construction. The report gives a brief review of design and specification considerations which may lead to the choice of FRPs, outlines the key benefits of using FRPs for certain applications, and details case studies illustrating best practice in the use of FRP components. A comprehensive reference and further reading list is also given. The basic report is 25 pages long, there are 39 case studies in addition, with the references, further reading and a glossary, it is 71 pages in all.
