Externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are an increasingly
adopted technology for the renewal of existing concrete structures. In order to encourage the
further use of these materials, a design code is needed that considers the inherent material
variability of the composite, as well as the variations introduced during field manufacture and
environmental exposure while in service. Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) is a
reliability-based design methodology that provides an ideal framework for these
considerations and is compatible with existing trends in civil engineering design codes. This
dissertation studies the application of LRFD to FRP strengthening schemes with an emphasis
on wet layup, carbon fiber composites applied to reinforced concrete T-beam bridge girders.
