SUMMARY:Simpson Strong-Tie Composite Strengthening Systems
DESCRIPTION:Retrofit and Repair of Structural Members Using Externally-Bonded Composite Strengthening Systems\n\nSimpson Strong-Tie  recently introduced its externally-bonded Composite Strengthening Systems  (CSS) for reinforcement of existing structural members. For over two decades\, these fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems have been used to retrofit and rehabilitate elements in buildings\, bridges\, parking garages\, chimneys\, piers/wharfs\, tunnels\, tanks/silos\, and pipelines. With their high strength/stiffness to weight ratio\, low impact\, and speed of installation\, these products offer cost-effective alternative strengthening solutions when compared against traditional options. While the use of these materials in the construction community is becoming more common\, there are still many engineers\, contractors\, and owners seeking additional information about them. This presentation will be focused on the following topics: \n\n\n	System Products\n	Material Properties and Advantages\n	Potential Uses\n	Structural Design and Important Considerations\n	Installation Procedures\n	Quality Control and Assurance\n	No-cost Technical Services\n\n\nSpeaker: Michael McCullagh is a registered professional engineer in the state of California and has spent his last 6 years working in the externally bonded composite strengthening system industry. He has a structural engineering degree from the University of California\, San Diego and has represented two FRP system manufacturers and an FRP system installation contractor during his professional career. He now serves as a Composite Strengthening Systems Engineer at Simpson Strong-Tie\, assisting engineers\, contractors\, and owners with feasibility studies\, budget estimates\, specifications\, drawing details\, and design calculations.
