  Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers in Bridge Rehabilitation ...

  2021629 · What is carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRPs)? Carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers are composite materials made up of two parts: carbon fibres (to provide stiffness & strength) and a polymer matrix (to bind & bond it to the surface). Bridge construction specialists use lots of different combinations of the two parts, depending on the project at …
