2020年1月7日上午9时，“FRP Rehabilitation of Metallic Structures”学术报告会在土木楼212报告厅举行。本期学术报告会由土木工程学院陶毅副教授主持，主讲人为新南威尔士大学X.L .Zhao教授，土木工程学院部分教师及近百名研究生参加了本期报告会。
陶毅副教授主持学术报告会
首先赵教授谈到，纤维增强聚合物（FRP）广泛应用于增强金属结构，例如桥梁，建筑物，海上平台，管道和起重机结构等。接着，赵教授介绍到世界上现存许多陈旧和有缺陷的金属桥，在欧洲，近70%的金属桥梁超过50年，30%的金属桥梁超过100年；在美国，超过62000座钢桥存在结构缺陷。赵教授提到了目前许多研究人员对FRP加固的钢构件和连接件的疲劳裂纹扩展进行了研究。其中可以分为几类，即焊接装饰和焊接管接头等。最后赵教授介绍了几个纤维增强聚合物（FRP）应用案例，如瑞士Munchenstein桥和钻石河大桥等。
