Many concrete structures are vulnerable to extreme loadings such as accidental impact, terrorist attack and earthquake disasters. Retrofitting of existing concrete structures for enhanced performance under these loadings has been an important topic of research for a long time, especially since the 911 terrorist attack. Among the different retrofitting techniques, external bonding of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has been a popular one. This paper presents a brief review of recent research on FRP strengthened concrete structures under blast, impact, earthquake and cyclic loading.
