- Abstract
- This article reviews Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) repair/rehabilitation technology in
Korea for durable concrete structures along with the history. In Korea, there are many
old infrastructures, which were mostly constructed in 60’s through early 80’s. As their
service period increases, there has been a high demand on the repair/rehabilitation of
those old structures. Korean concrete communities have performed very intensive
studies on the repair/rehabilitation methods using the FRP materials. The research topics
included different fiber types, different FRP product types, and different purposes of the
FRP repair/rehabilitation for concrete structures. Korean researchers evaluated the
effectiveness of repair/rehabilitation method using the FRP in comparison to the
methods using a steel plate. They, later on, proposed an optimized FRP
repair/rehabilitation method for bi-directional bending structural members, such as a
bridge deck plate. As the FRP repair/rehabilitation market grew fast, the construction
procedures of the FRP repair/rehabilitation was standardized. Among this series of the
FRP repair/rehabilitation researches, a study evaluated the fire resistance of the FRP and
found that the FRP with basalt fiber had an excellent fire resistance.
The state of the art technology in the FRP is a hybrid FRP material and a
monitoring/sensing technology using the hybrid FRP material. Since the FRP technology
becomes more complex and advanced, the civil engineering communities established
Fiber Research Center at Hanyang University, Ansan, in 2003 in order to effectively
“Koreanize” these the latest technologies. The center does not only incorporate
industries and research institutes but incorporates also other civil engineering areas than
structures, for example, geosynthesis and NDT.
Throughout these active laboratory researches and field applications of the FRP, the
concrete infrastructures in Korea should be able to extend the design life cycle at a sound
structural condition.
