How many FRP layers does your strengthening design actually need?

FRP strengthening should not be based on assumptions.

With FRP Designer, you can calculate the precise type and number of FRP layers required to increase the **shear and flexural capacity of reinforced concrete beams and columns**.

✓ Compare member capacity before and after strengthening
✓ Select from an extensive library of commercial FRP systems
✓ Design shear and flexural strengthening solutions
✓ Verify your design according to major international codes
✓ Generate detailed, submission-ready calculation reports

Make faster, clearer and fully documented strengthening decisions—without building a complete finite element model.

On June 24, 2026, northern Venezuela experienced a major earthquake doublet, with a M7.2 event followed just 39 seconds later by a M7.5 shock. This unusual and complex seismic sequence has caused severe shaking across a densely populated corridor in the Yaracuy-Carabobo region.

Our latest article details the initial seismological data and outlines the immediate structural engineering priorities, from rapid safety assessments to the critical importance of open datasets for ongoing evaluation and recovery.
