This project is funded under the program, Innovation and Research for Water Infrastructure for The 21st Century. The objective is to perform technical work in support of establishing guidelines for renewal of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) using internally applied carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). The project will investigate factors that should be considered when preparing, designing, testing and performing CFRP renewal work. The project will provide practical knowledge for water utilities to plan and implement CFRP renewal of PCCP, and will also provide technical information to American Water Works Association that could be used in setting standards for CFRP renewal of PCCP pipelines.
