The aim of this software is to assist the user in calculating the FRP dimensions required to provide:flexural strengthening incl. bond check,shear strengthening and confinement. These three topics are treated in the guideline, which present the theoretical basis of the calculations. The equations used in this program are given in the fib Bulletin No. 14, July 2001: "Design and use of Externally Bonded FRP Reinforcement for RC Structures". These sites are explained exactly in the "help - function" of the design - software, incl. the formulas used for calculation and input data. The software has been developed for the Design with Sika CarboDur Composite Strengthening Systems to increase the Flexural, Shear and Confinement Strength of Reinforced Concrete Structures.
