FRP composite materials have gained<br />

considerable popularity and acceptance<br />

in the civil engineering circles<br />

due to their unique and desirable<br />

properties. Corrosion resistance, high<br />

strength, ease of installation, and minimum<br />

maintenance are some of the factors that<br />

make FRP composites a potential solution<br />

to deterioration and steel corrosion.<br />

In order to meet the future requirements,<br />

it is essential that structural engineers<br />

explore innovative and environmentally<br />

friendly materials. Concrete deterioration<br />

is a challenging issue that calls for<br />

the development of sustainable materials<br />

and modern construction techniques. All<br />

the stakeholders, from researchers, material<br />

producers and construction agencies<br />

have to play their role in order to<br />

make civil infrastructure more dependable<br />

and sustainable.<br />

The application of FRP composites in civil<br />

engineering should be promoted worldwide.<br />

Countries like Canada, Japan, and<br />

the US are already using FRP construction<br />

products as an alternative to steel and<br />

other traditional materials. It has become<br />

inevitable to construct sustainable, maintenance<br />

free, and long-lasting concrete<br />

structures. Governments can save billions<br />

of dollars every year by making a good use<br />

of innovative and promising materials.<br />
