Applications of vinylester-based composites in civil engineering

6 Applications of vinylester-based composites in civil engineering 

Civil application results also in substantial fatigue loading, in the sense that prolonged service may lead to failure at stresses largely inferior to the yield point. Fatigue may be mechanical (for example, due to vehicle traffic), thermal (from seasonal and diurnal variations in temperature) or chemical 

Footbridges, lifting road bridges, modular bridges Pre-stressed tendons Replacement decks FRP rebars 

Boards for electrical isolation Soffits/fascias, wood plastic Architectural embellishment items 

Retrofit column wrapping Resin spraying up on chopped fibres Flexural or shear strengthening
