- Course Description: This course focuses on the repair of structures using fiber reinforced polymers
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: Needed as part of recent program/concentration/certificate change
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? NSF requires research to be integrated into course work. This course is the direct outcome of an NSF award.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? Yes, 3 or more times
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Ph.D. + experience
- Objectives: To enable students to learn the basis of using fiber reinforced polymers for strengthening and repairing structures in accordance with the provisions of documents prepared by ACI 440
- Learning Outcomes: Knowledge of techniques for assessing damage Application of fiber reinforced polymers for repairing beams, columns and piles

Assignments:
The majority of assignments will require classroom presentations based on a review of the literature. ASCE has several journals that contain relevant papers, e.g. Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, Composites for Construction, Bridge Engineering. Students will be given considerable freedom to select a topic.
- Attendance Policy: USF Policy on Religious Observances: “ Students who anticipate the necessity of being absent from class due to the observation of a major religious observance must provide notice of the date(s) to the instructor, in writing, by the second class meeting.”
- Policy on Make-up Work: "Plagiarism is defined as “literary theft” and consists of the unattributed quotation of the exact
words of a published text, or the unattributed borrowing of original ideas by paraphrase from a
published text. On written papers for which the student employs information gathered from books, articles, or oral sources, each direct quotation, as well as ideas and facts that are not generally known to the public at large, or the form, structure, or style of a secondary source must be attributed to its author by means of the appropriate citation procedure. Only widely known facts and first-hand thoughts and observations original to the student do not require citations. Citations may be made in footnotes or within the body of the text. Plagiarism, also, consists of passing off as one’s own, segments or the total of another person’s work."
