Abstract
Although fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) are now widely used in a range of structural applications, e.g. air crafts, cars, ...etc, they are still rarely used by civil engineers. The main reasons for this are the complexities arising from the nature and structure of these materials which affect their analysis and design procedures. This paper describes a non linear static and dynamic finite element analysis package (NSDFEM) suitable for the analysis of all types of structures made of FRP. The package ias also capable of modeling reinforced concrete structures retrofitted with FRP.
