Structural Design Guide of FRP Components
CTI has recently developed a structural design guide about the newest building materials for constructing cooling towers, Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP). This paper is available on CTI’s website and includes the minimum design standards and cautionary recommendations to designers for FRP structural cooling towers. What are FRP Components? When investing in a cooling tower, it is important to consider what type of materials will be used to build it to make the structure long-
