Abstract
Globally, the advancement of FRP reinforcement for concrete structures has resulted in several international code-writing bodies to put forth new design codes and standards for this technology. The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has recently published ACI Code-440.11–22 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete Reinforced with Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Bars. In Europe, EN 1992 (Eurocode 2) Annex R is being proposed to cover Embedded FRP Reinforcement. And in Canada, the Canadian Standards Association has published a code on Design and Construction of Building Structures with Fibre-reinforced polymers (most recently in 2012) under CSA S 806. This presentation will provide an objective overview of these three international standards with the aim of highlighting differences in scope and in design approaches utilized. Comparative design examples will illustrate where these codes provide similar outcomes and where they differ.
