Civil engineering structures may be damaged due to various causes such as earthquakes, cyclones, blasting, etc. This kind of loading collapses the structure prematurely or causes extensive damage to them. When the damage is minor, it is possible to retrofit the structure. A review of the available literature has disclosed that umpteen numbers of retrofitting methodologies are available. Among them, efficient and effective method of repairing damaged structures is the application of Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP). In the past, several structures have been rehabilitated using the FRP techniques. This paper presents a critical review of using the FRP techniques, their applications, case studies of repairing civil engineering structures, and appropriate concluding remarks.
