Fiberglass
reinforced polymer is among the sturdiest and most durable materials around used for
manufacturing and construction purpose nowadays. Fiber reinforced polymer is generally shaped and molded into various structures, sizes and also things of necessities. FRP beams have a high demand worldwide due to its diversified use and application. In a certain respect, it is also found to be cost effective as well in comparison to other similar products manufactured with any other material. This also scores in the aspects of durability. It is easy to install and give a long lasting effect for years.
Manufacturing Concept Plastics reinforced beams with the stable glass fibers have wonderful tensile strength in the fiber direction and

exceptional corrosion resistance features. In some aspects, these are found to be distinguished by the low modulus and very low compressive strength. It is projected to extend its durability though composite manufacturing process.
Provides Durability As fiber reinforced polymer beams is pre-fabricated and tough casing is used initially, it casts plain concrete and thereafter to confine the concrete and it act as tensile reinforcement and provide corrosion protection.
Cost Saving Feature Important cost savings features are made possible with the application and the varied mixture of materials, particularly in uncovered structures, such as bridges and other professional usage. A trial experiment of FRPencased beams in axial compression and also of rectangular shaped FRP-encased beams in bending is offered. The results demonstrated the outstanding power and durable characteristics of FRP-encased materials which last for a longer period of time thus proving as ultimate cost saver in respect to other.
Improved Weather-Shield Ability The behavior of round shaped FRP-encased concrete beam-columns is also been described, in terms of systematically attained moment and ductility. Interaction diagrams along with the moment-curvature relations have also been found successful. The weather-shield characteristics along with the fire resistance trait of the FRP have also been successfully measured. Apart from the efficiency and utilization, different aspects of ecological properties are also reviewed convincingly.
Use and Application Fiber reinforced polymer beam compound is largely being well thought-out for use in civil infrastructure and diverse manufacturing aspects. Along with these, various function ranging from the casing of concrete columns for the purpose of seismic retrofit and repair of deteriorated or weak beams by the peripheral placement of strips or the sheets. It helps in the use of various structural mechanisms such as decks, girders, bridges. Source: Pultrusions.com.au
Consideration Despite of the possible advantages of the utilization of the FRP composites beams in various applications, a major difficulty to their final reception is the confirmation of their durability under the extremely harsh ecological conditions in the context of a civil infrastructure setting. Although a significant research and analysis done on the practical strength and durability aspects of the FRP beams, it has been observed that this class of materials differentiates significantly from the other set. It processes enough robustness to be used in civil infrastructure function, particularly in the context structural reform and reconstruction.
