JOINT FRP

Software for the design of the strengthening system of beam-column joints of existing reinforced concrete

Design - Software

JOINT FRP v.2.0.0 is a software for the design of the strengthening system of beam-column joints of existing reinforced concrete (R.C.) buildings by using fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). The adopted design approaches comply with the Italian building code (D.M. 17 January 2018 and Circolare n.7 21 January 2019) and with the recent fib bulletin 90 (2019) for the strengthening of existing structures by means of FRP.
