Italian Technical Paper CNR-DT

Over last several years, scientific interest towards innovative fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) applications for structural reinforcement on one side and the peculiarity of the extremely diversified Italian architectural heritage on the other directed the attention of many researchers to the fields of structural mechanics, constructions, structural reinforcement, and seismic engineering. Several scientific programs have resulted from this, funded by the most important Italian research centers, in particular, by MIUR and CNR. 

The paper satisfying the requirements described above is composed of the following sections  

Brigante, New Composite Materials Selection, Design, and Application, 

5 Strengthening of Reinforced and Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Structures 

These instructions of CNR-DT 200/2004 aim to provide, in the framework of the existing regulations, an orientation paper on the design, implementation, and control of structural strengthening with fiber-reinforced composites.
