Abstract:

This review gathers the available literature on Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) cables. The behaviors of built-in structures are very crucial, especially structures with large dimensions and long service, usually involving advanced technology. Hence, there is the need to understand the behavior of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) cable which is considered to be a new discovery for making composite materials. This review covers literature on the behavior and strength of CFRP cables in relation to bridges as well as the use of such cables in other civil engineering structures other than bridges. This paper also describes, briefly, some selected projects in which CFRP cables have been used to demonstrate the wide range of the current and potential applications of CFRP cables for Civil Engineering Structures
