                        Pros and Cons of FRPs




                                                              •High Cost
                              •Strength/Specific Gravity
                               (10‐15 times that of steel)    •Low Elastic Modulus
                              •Corrosion Resistance           •Stress Corrosion

                              •Fatigue Characteristics        •Lack of Ductility

                              •Electromagnetic Neutrality     •Anisotropic properties
