FRP as a Retrofitting Solution for Sheet piles & Seawalls
Steel sheet piles and seawalls are commonly used in waterfront projects. The daily tidal changes introduce dry/wet cycles that lead to rapid corrosion of these structures. Most of the damage in sheet piles and seawalls occurs over the splash zone, which is defined by the low and high tide water elevation. The large size of sheet piles and seawalls and the fact that they are partially submerged in water makes their repairs very challenging. Afzir FRP system is an economical solution to such repairs.
