The main advantages of modern composite materials such as: corrosion resistance, high strength and modulus values compared to their density, acceptable deformability, tailored design and excellent formability enable the fabrication of new elements and the structural rehabilitation of the existing parts made of traditional materials. The high potential of the applicability of polymeric composites in new industrial construction correlated with fabrication procedures as well as the use of composites in modern strengthening solutions are presented in the paper. %K fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) %K FRP elements %K pultruded shapes %K hybrid elements %K strengthening solutions. %U http://www.bipcons.ce.tuiasi.ro/Content/ArticleInformation.php?ArticleID=196
