Call for Abstracts
Abstracts are now being called for 20 minute oral presentations in English (text only). The papers should present original and unpublished advances of knowledge in accordance with the Symposium's topics.
Papers dealing with all aspects of the application of FRP composites to concrete or masonry structures will be considered for publication in the Symposium proceedings and for presentation at the Symposium. Invited extended versions will also be considered for publication in special issues of ‘Advances in Structural Engineering’ and ‘Construction and Building Materials’.
Topics include but are not limited to:
1. Life cycle costs of FRP materials, systems and structures
2. Durability of FRP systems such as in exposure to heat, light and chemicals
3. Accelerated and real time performance of FRP such as bond and strength
4. Fire resistance of FRP systems
5. Innovations and developments in fibre composite materials and systems
6. Field applications, case studies or costs of structures with FRP reinforcement
7. Standardisation of FRP materials, bonding agents, and test methods
8. Codes and standards for FRP concrete and masonry systems
9. Ductility of FRP retrofitted members
10. Behaviour of FRP confined concrete
11. FRP retrofitting or FRP systems for blast loads
12. Seismic retrofitting or seismic-resistant design with FRP systems
13. Fatigue resistance of FRP systems
14. Bond of FRP systems to concrete or masonry
15. Strengthening or repair of concrete or masonry structures using FRP systems
16. Strengthening or repair of historic structures using FRP systems
17. Hybrid FRP-concrete structures
18. Behaviour and design of members internally reinforced with FRP
19. Behaviour and design of members prestressed with FRP

TIMELINE
Deadline for submission of abstracts: Tuesday 10 June 2008
Authors advised of abstract acceptance: September 2008
Deadline for full papers & extended abstracts: Tuesday 25 November 2008
Authors advised of full paper/extended abstract revision: January 2009
Deadline for full revised papers & abstracts Friday 6 March 2009
IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE
- Potential presenters should note that all costs to attend the symposium must be met from their own resources. As a commitment to attend and support the symposium, accepting presenters are required to pay a submission fee for each paper which is then subtracted from their registration fee. All speakers must be registered for the full symposium program.
- Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend and present their papers at the symposium
- All papers accepted will be published on CD-ROM, available at the symposium
- Selected papers will be considered for publication in special Journal issues.
- All abstracts will be reviewed by the symposium scientific committee who reserve the right to reject any abstract it considers does not meet the criteria.
