This paper provides an overview on some of the latest advances in the applications of fiber reinforced polymeric (FRP) composites in construction. The paper focuses on three main inter related review areas, namely; (i) Repair and rehabilitation of concrete, steel, masonry and wood structures using composites, and (ii) All-composite structural applications that includes buildings and bridges, and (iii) Latest development on design codes, materials specifications, design manuals and national and international standards for composites used in civil infrastructure applications.
