title = "Enhancement of shallow depth patches for concrete bridges using FRP overlays",
abstract = "The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) fabrics applied as overlays on top of traditional patching materials was investigated to provide more durable patches on concrete structures. FRP overlays provide the benefits of keeping the patch in place for a longer period, restraining the diffusion of moisture and chloride ions, especially when patches are cracked, and reducing further damage to the concrete element. Finite element (FE) models were developed to assess the damage on the patching material due to shrinkage, corrosion, and mechanical load. The demands from the numerical studies were used to evaluate suitable FRP fabrics and their configurations. It was found that a layer of bidirectional glass FRP is adequate for shallow depth patching applications. Experiments are being conducted to validate this result.",
