FRP jacketing of steel tubes enhances ductility by restraining local ("elephant's foot") buckling, improving seismic resilience with modest strength increases. It is an effective retrofit for tanks, silos, and piers. 🏗️ #CivilEngineering #FRP sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

FRP pultrusions are exceptionally strong yet lightweight and can last longer than traditional building materials for a lower total cost over the life of the product. That makes fiberglass pedestrian bridges the ideal solution.

Hybrid FRP-concrete-steel DSTCs: FRP confines the concrete and boosts shear, while the inner steel tube serves as the main reinforcement. Main takeaway: better performance comes from effective confinement, not just more material 💡. #CivilEngineering #FRP theses.lib.polyu.edu.hk/hand…
