An assessment of the suitability of wrought iron for strengthening using FRP composites
This paper presents the results of an investigation into the strengthening of wrought iron structures using carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites (CFRP). The properties of wrought iron from a bridge in mid-Wales are given together with results of tests on strengthened wrought iron. It is shown that CFRP strengthening can be carried out safely subject to certain precautions.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the strengthening of wrought iron structures using carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites (CFRP). The properties of wrought iron from a bridge in mid-Wales are given together with results of tests on strengthened wrought iron. It is shown that CFRP strengthening can be carried out safely subject to certain precautions.
