Composites (glass or carbon fibre reinforced polymers) show great potential for enhanced design flexibility, durability and performance of new and existing civil structures. - To realise this potential, rigorous theoretical work and large-scale tests are being pursued at Bristol, with industrial support.
- Work includes glass fibre composite bridge decks and strengthening buildings with carbon fibre composites.
