Abstract
Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have attracted significant attention in repairing existing and deteriorating structures since the traditional rehabilitation techniques have several limitations in terms of durability, self-weight and complex installation process. Prefabricated FRP composite jackets are the preferred solution in repairing bridge piles located both underwater and above the waterline as they can be easily placed around the damaged pile to form a robust single-piece repair system. The structural continuity of the jacket in such a repair system is critical for effectively utilising its maximum strength. This study presents an extensive review of the current practices and new opportunities for using prefabricated composite jackets for structural repair. Important design considerations to effectively utilise prefabricated FRP composite jackets in repairing structures are presented and analysed. The review also identifies the challenges and highlights the future directions of research to increase the acceptance and use of emerging composite repair systems.
