This national symposium will bring together leading Australian researchers and industry professionals working in the field of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in marine and civil infrastructure. It involves an exchange forum and discussion to establish a better understanding on the issues and identifying solutions critical to bringing the research into actual application and to increase confidence in the adoption of GFRP bars as internal reinforcement in concrete infrastructure.
The symposium is targeted towards the widespread use of GFRP bars in marine and civil infrastructure through promotion of the state-of-the-art research, development, applications, and exemplar projects. It also intends to develop high-quality collaborations among researchers, engineers, asset owners, contractors, bar suppliers and manufacturers to help grow the industry, secure new and existing market opportunities, and demonstrate Australia’s international competitiveness in the field of GFRP bars’ research and development.
