This Proceedings contains the papers presented at the International Conference on FRP Composites in Civil Engineering, held in Hong Kong, China, on 12-15 December 2001.

The papers, contributed from 24 countries, cover a wide spectrum of topics and demonstrate the recent advances in the application of FRP (Fibre-reinforced polymer) composites in civil engineering, while pointing to future directions of research in this exciting area.

Chapter headings. Keynote papers. Design codes and guidelines (invited papers). Materials and products. Confinement of concrete in compression. Bond between FRP plate/sheet and concrete. Flexural strengthening of concrete beams. Interfacial stresses. Debonding failures in FRP-strengthened concrete beams. Shear and torsional strengthening of concrete beams. Strengthening of concrete columns. Seismic retrofit of concrete columns. Strengthening of beam-column joints. Strengthening of historic and masonry structures. Recent developments in strengthening techniques. Concrete structures reinforced or prestressed with FRP. Detailing of FRP reinforcement. Concrete-filled FRP tubes. Hybrid beams, joints and panels. All FRP structures. Durability. Fibre optic and piezoelectric sensors for structures with FRP. Practical applications. Miscellaneous.
