A REVIEW OF A FRP CONCRETE STRENGTHENING: A MODERN APPROACH

Fiber Reinforcement Polymers (FRPs) has been widely used in strengthening of concrete structures. The potential interest on FRPs have been risen remarkably worldwide due to many reasons such as cost effectiveness and easy usage. Therefore, this study conducts a scientometric review of global research published between 2000 and 2023 on FRP concrete strengthening. This study collected vast bibliometric data from Scopus data base and conducted a scientometric review on concrete strengthening using FRPs. Scientometric analysis is used to determine the current state of research by analyzing bibliometric data and identify related publication areas, sources with most publications, frequently used keywords, top contributed authors and countries that have made the greatest contribution to the filed using FRP concrete strengthening. Moreover, most active research areas are discussed in this study. The scientometric review will enable to identify the most trending research arears in this area and scholars form diverse countries to exchange novel ideas and knowledge and experience. This study will allow to build new collaborations and joint ventures who are working in this research area in in different regions.
