Abstract
Reinforced concrete structures have been wrapped to provide strength and confinement in the presence of seismic loads. The wrapping of structures as a means of mitigating corrosion is relatively recent. The objective of the work to be described is to investigate the long-term effectiveness of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite wraps in mitigating corrosion in reinforced concrete elements in severe environments.
