DMRB CD 371 – Strengthening highway structures using fibre-reinforced polymers and externally bonded steel plates
Access free from the DMRB website. Also available from CIS.
This document has been developed to enable the use of Eurocode principles for basis of design when strengthening structures with fibre-reinforced polymers and incorporate updates in technology.
It includes reference to methods in third party documents, particularly:
1) CS TR55 [Ref 3.I];
2) CIRIA C595 [Ref 9.I].
The document also incorporates updated provisions from the withdrawn BA 30/94. The opportunity has been taken to incorporate requirements for strengthening structures with steel plate bonding and to align the requirements with those for fibre-reinforced polymers where appropriate.
