- Title
Guidance Emerges for FRP Retrofits of Concrete Diaphragms: ACI Foundation-funded research project has filled knowledge gaps in design practices.
- Authors
Sicaras, Victoria K.
- Abstract
The article discusses the development of guidelines for retrofitting concrete diaphragms using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, addressing knowledge gaps in strengthening deficient force-resisting systems. It also discusses the challenges of retrofitting diaphragms with FRP, the research process, and the practical implications of the findings for improving structural resilience and safety in existing buildings.
