SOP On Design Considerations For The Use of FRP Systems

This document provides a standard operating procedure (SOP) on the design considerations for using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) systems to strengthen concrete structures. It outlines the background, objective, and procedures for three types of FRP applications: externally bonded (non-prestressed) FRP, externally prestressed FRP tendons, and other alternative FRP materials or applications. The SOP provides guidance on limitations, design guidelines, strengthening limits, fire endurance, column strengthening, and rules of thumb for strengthening levels. It directs the user to specific annexes and design documents for additional information based on the type of FRP application being considered.

SOP on

Design Considerations
for the use
of
FRP Systems
Outline
▫ Background

▫ Objective

▫ Procedure
Background
▫ No British Standards available

▫ Established use in S’pore

▫ Guidance documents - ACI 440.2R & TR


55

▫ Incorporated in Approved Document


Objective
▫ SOP on FRP for strengthening concrete
structures

▫ SOP provide guidance

▫ limitations

▫ design considerations
Procedure
▫ identify the type of FRP application
being considered

1. Externally bonded (nonprestresed) - SOP

2. Externally prestressed tendons


(unbonded) – SOP

3. Others – refer to DD
▫ FRP as nonprestresed, externally
bonded reinforcement

▫ Design guide
▫ ACI 440.2R-02
▫ TR 55 2nd ed

▫ Independent test reports


▫ physical properties
▫ mechanical properties

▫ Design considerations in SOP, Annex


A&B
Strengthening limits

▫ safeguard against collapse of structure

▫ In event of failure of FRP system due to

▫ bond failure
▫ fire
▫ vandalism
▫ accidental damage
▫ other causes
Strengthening limits - ACI 440.2R-02

(φRn )existing ≥ ( 1.2 SDL + 0.85 SLL )new

φ - strength-reduction factor, ref - ACI 318


Rn - nominal strength of member
SDL - dead load effects
SLL - live load effects
Strengthening limits - TR 55

▫ unstrengthened structure to carry


unfactored service loads

▫ For BS 8110 / CP 65
1.0 DL + 1.0 LL

▫ For BS 5400: Part 4


1.0 DL + 1.0 SDL+ 1.0 LL
Endurance to fire - ACI 440.2R-02

▫ contribution of the FRP is disallowed

(Rnθ )existing ≥ SDL + SLL

Rn θ - nominal strength of a member at elevated temp


SDL - dead load effects
SLL - live load effects
Endurance to fire - TR 55

▫ contribution of the FRP is ignored

▫ the requirements of BS 8110 / CP 65 will


apply
Column strengthening

▫ confinement by FRP jacket

▫ increase in apparent concrete


strength - axial compression

▫ applicable for circular sections

▫ non-circular sections
▫ ACI 440.2R – no guidance
▫ TR 55 – some guidance
▫ confined concrete strength

▫ ACI 440.2R

▫ TR 55
Rule-of-thumb

▫ degree of strengthening

▫ > 20% of existing capacity

▫ > 20%, consult DD


▫ FRP as unbonded, external prestressed
tendons

▫ Design guide - ACI 440.4R-04

▫ Seek DD’s direction / advice

▫ Design considerations in SOP, Annex


C
▫ Alternative FRP material or new type
of FRP application

▫ An alternative solution

▫ Consult DD for advice
