The disadvantages of bonded steel plate strengthening, described in Part I may be overcome with the use of advanced composite materials, particularly fiber reinforced plastic (FRP). This article covers the following topics: development of composites; carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP); CFRP for repair and strengthening; examples of practical use; and conclusion.
