Abstract
Repair works of reinforced concrete structures are complex, expensive, and with a strong impact on the environment . Repair solutions with composite materials , FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer), are the most efficient, if we consider mechanical characteristics and lightness. To assess its sustainability it is necessary to analyze this type of structural rehabilitation operations from environmental and economic criteria, but mainly social, considering people living in buildings and using infrastructure, as well as workers. Through a documentary work in three Andalusian companies: Vorsevi, Labrum and Azul Construcción, about different investigations, studies and works of carbon fiber reinforcements CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer), an analysis of the circumstances and the complexity of works, environmental impacts and over citizen, and issues related to quality control to ensure proper operation, durability, and long-term impacts amortization, was developed. It is included a comparative analysis between CFRP reinforcements and other most commonly reinforcements used in construction .
