2007-03-26 News Release
Fibre-reinforced polymers in preservation of historic structures The Network Group for Composites in Construction has undertaken a state-of-the-art review of the use fibre-reinforced polymers in restoration and conservation.
Experts from UK industry and academia met in London in January 2007 to
discuss the latest challenges in the field and present case studies. The
workshop was one of a series of public events organized by the Network
Group for Composites in Construction (NGCC), with free places for NGCC
members, which advance understanding in the use of fibre-reinforced polymers
(FRP) in construction and share the latest developments with construction
professionals and clients. The workshop identified the significant potential
of FRP in the preservation of historical structures.
In the last two decades, fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) have gained considerable worldwide interest and growing acceptance in the construction industry. Much work has already been done to enable their advantages to be exploited in the preservation of historic structures, particularly their high strength, durability, cost effectiveness and the potential for minimal aesthetic impacts. Work is now underway to expand the range of potential applications, exploring important issues such as long-term durability, material compatibility, minimizing invasiveness, upgrade reversibility and optimizing material selection. The workshop findings have led to the production of a new NGCC technical
sheet ‘TS06: FRPs in restoration’. The publication and workshop
presentations about fibre-reinforced polymers can be downloaded from the
NGCC members’ e-library on the NGCC website (www.ngcc.org.uk) or
telephone 01246 541918 for additional information.
