Reusable Fire-Resistant Column Rehabilitation with Fibre Reinforced Polymer

纤维增强聚合物（FRP）复合材料由于其耐火极限的限制，在结构修复中的应用有时受到质疑或反对。本项目旨在用创新的方法解决FRP在柱套工程中的耐火问题。拟议的方案将采用先进的材料和机械紧固技术。它可以确保FRP导管架在火灾期间的结构适用性。火灾后，建议的护套方案是可重复使用的应用新的环氧树脂层。本项目的研究成果将推动结构修复理论和技术的发展。它还将通过可持续建筑为建筑业带来重大利益。

The application of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structural rehabilitation is sometimes challenged or opposed due to the limitation of its fire resistance. This project aims to solve the fire resistance problem of FRP in column jacketing work using innovative approaches. The proposed scheme will be developed by using advanced materials and mechanical fastening technology. It can ensure structural serviceability of FRP jackets during a fire. And after the fire, the proposed jacketing scheme is reusable by applying a new layer of epoxy. The project is expected to advance the theory and technologies in structural rehabilitation. It will also provide significant benefits to the construction industry via sustainable construction.
