Abstract
In 1989, the authors of this book and their friend L.G. Jaeger (1926–2013) wrote a brief article inquiring if the time had come in Canada for the use of the advanced composite materials, now known as fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs), in civil structures (Mufti et al. 1989). The premise for the apparently affirmative answer to their query lay in the promise of the high durability of FRPs in concrete in corrosive environments, in which steel-reinforced concrete deteriorates rapidly and is thus not sustainable. Since the late 1980s, the considerable research into the use of FRPs in civil structures has led to centres of excellence, and several series of international conferences with voluminous proceedings recording a very large body of research into the subject.
