(1.000 mm).
4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
4.1 Design:
4.1.1 General: Design of the composite system must be
based on required tensile loads at designated concrete
strain values. The strength design requirements for
concrete must be in accordance with Chapter 19 of the IBC
or UBC. The registered design professional must be
responsible for determining, through analysis, the
strengths and demands of the structural elements to be
enhanced by the MAPEWRAP FRP Systems, subject to
approval of the code official.
4.1.2 Composite Design Properties: Structural design
properties for the composites are found in the Mapei
Design Manual (hereinafter referred to as the DM),
Revision: 1; dated October 8, 2014.
4.1.3 Design Details: Design equations described in the
DM are based on test results and principles of structural
analysis as set forth in Section 1604.4 of the IBC and
Section 1605 of the UBC. Bases of design include strain
compatibility, load equilibrium and limit states. All designs
must follow procedures as detailed in the IBC or UBC; in
the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Concrete and
Reinforced and Unreinforced Masonry Strengthening
Using Externally Bonded Fiber-reinforced Polymer (FRP)
Composite Systems (AC125), dated August 2014; and in
the DM, dated October 8, 2014, Revision 1. A copy of the
DM must be submitted to the code official for approval of
each project.
4.1.4 Design Strength: Design strengths must be taken
as the nominal strength, computed in accordance with
Section 4.1.3 of this report, multiplied by strength reduction
factors provided in Section 21.2 of ACI 318-14 (2015 IBC),
Section 9.3 of ACI 318-11 (2012 IBC) or ACI 318-08 (2009
IBC), or Chapter 19 of the UBC, and modified by AC125,
as applicable.
4.1.5 Load Combinations: The load combinations used
in design must comply with Section 1605.2 of the IBC, or
Section 1612.2 of the UBC.
4.1.6 Columns:
4.1.6.1 Potential Applications: The composite systems
are applied to circular or rectangular columns to enhance
their axial strengths.
4.1.6.2 Structural Design Requirements: Concrete
column design must comply with the DM and with Chapter
19 of the IBC or UBC.
4.1.7 Beams:
4.1.7.1 Potential Applications: The composite systems
are applied to beams to enhance their flexural strengths for
gravity load or wind load resistance only.
Page 2 of 3
4.1.7.2 Structural Design Requirements: Concrete
beam design must comply with the DM and with Chapter
19 of the IBC or UBC.
4.2 Installation:
Installation must be performed by certified applicators
in accordance with the Mapei Installation Guide for
MAPEWRAP FRP Composite Systems that can be found
in the product specifications. Installation of the system
must comply with the requirements set forth in the product
specifications as follows:

4.2.1 Saturation: The fibers and the matrix must be
combined in accordance with an established weight-and-
volume ratio as indicated in the specification referenced in
Table 1, using manual methods.
4.2.2 Application: The saturated composite fabric must
be applied to the prepared concrete substrate using
manual (hand-applied) methods. Manual methods must be
used to remove air bubbles and to ensure desired fiber
orientation. Note that the pot life of the saturated fabric
depends on the pot life of the resin system and may vary
with ambient temperature, where higher temperatures
result in a lesser pot life, and lower temperatures result in a
longer pot life.
4.2.3 Finishing: The cured composite can be coated with
paint. Paints may be applied as required for weather
protection and/or aesthetic considerations.
4.2.4 Cure Time Prior to Loading: MAPEWRAP FRP
composite system must be allowed a minimum of 48 hours
of cure time (depending on temperatures) prior to
application of superimposed loading onto the structural
member.
4.3 Special Inspection:
Special inspection must comply with the applicable
requirements in Sections 1704 through 1709 of the 2015
and 2012 IBC, Sections 1704 through 1712 of the 2009
IBC. Special inspection during the installation of the
system must be in accordance with the ICC-ES
Acceptance Criteria for Inspection and Verification of
Concrete and Unreinforced Masonry Strengthening Using
Fiber-reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composite Systems
(AC178), dated December 2013. A statement of special
inspection must be prepared in accordance with Sections
1704.3 of the 2015 and 2012 IBC or Section 1705 of the
2009 IBC.
5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE
The MAPEWRAP FRP Composites Systems described in
this report comply with, or are suitable alternatives to what
ESR-3499 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted
is specified in, those codes listed in Section 1.0 of this
report, subject to the following conditions:
5.1 Design and installation of MAPEWRAP FRP
Composite Systems must be in accordance with this
report, Mapei FRP System Specifications, the Design
Manual, Revision 1, dated October 8, 2014; and the
IBC or UBC, as applicable.
5.2 Copies of the Design Manual and Mapei FRP System
Specifications must be submitted to the code official
in conjunction with each project using the system.
5.3 Complete construction documents, including plans
and calculations verifying compliance with
this report, must be submitted to the code official
for each project at the time of permit application. The
construction documents must be prepared and sealed
by a registered design professional where required by
the statutes of the jurisdiction in which the project is to
be constructed.
5.4 Special inspection for jobsite application of the
MAPEWRAP FRP Composite Systems must be
provided in accordance with Section 4.3 of this report.
5.5 The fire-resistance rating of the assembly complying
with Chapter 7 of the IBC or UBC is not reduced by
the application of the MAPEWRAP FRP Composite
Systems. The structural load-carrying capacities of
fire-resistance-rated assemblies must be based on
the design of the concrete without the MAPEWRAP
FRP Composite Systems. Fire resistance of
assemblies with structural load-carrying capacities
increased beyond the levels permitted by the IBC or
UBC is beyond the scope of this report.
