Overview
Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) are a new material in structural engineering practice and architecture. Low weight and high durability make FRPs – also known as fiber-reinforced plastics – a promising solution for many applications.
If you want to start or progress the use of FRPs in your projects and need relevant knowledge and experience, this course is for you.
You will learn how to design and build with this new high-performance composite material increasingly used in building and infrastructure projects.
What you'll learn
After taking the Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites in Structural Engineering course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), structural engineers and architects will be able to:
- Exploit the advantages of FRPs with respect to traditional materials in infrastructure and building projects whilst being aware of the limitations that exist for specific applications.
- Make informed selections from the wide range of different FRP materials and production processes suited to a specific application.
- Deliver a realistic design for FRP structures.
- Perform design verification for simple to modestly complex structural members and joints between members.
- Use analytical and computational methods to analyze structural behavior and obtain results for design verifications.
