Utilizing FRPs in the construction and reinforcement of buildings and bridges

Matsumoto Yukihiro

Professor, Institute for Research on Next-generation Semiconductor and Sensing Science


Professor Yukihiro Matsumoto conducts research on fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs), which are produced by moding carbon or glass fibers with resin. FRPs are lightweight and durable and have a high degree of freedom in their shape. They are widely used in airplanes and automobiles. Professor Matsumoto is exploring methodologies for utilizing the properties of FRPs in the construction and reinforcement of civil engineering structures such as buildings and bridges. What are the benefits of using FRPs as a material for construction and civil engineering?
