An insulated composite reinforcement material comprising:
- a fiber reinforced polymer composite material;
- and
- an insulating layer comprising a hydraulic cementitious material applied over at least a portion of the fiber reinforced polymer composite reinforcement material, wherein said insulated composite material achieves a 4 hour fire rating as tested in accordance with ASTM E119.
A reinforced structural member comprising:
- a structural member;
- a fiber reinforced polymer composite material applied over at least a portion of said structural member;
- and
- an insulating layer comprising a hydraulic cementitious material applied over at least a portion of the a fiber reinforced polymer composite material, wherein the reinforced structural member achieves a 4 hour fire rating as tested by ASTM E119.
A method for reinforcing and insulating a structural member comprising:
- applying a fiber reinforced polymer composite material over at least a portion of said structural member;
- and
- applying an insulating layer comprising a hydraulic cementitious material over at least a portion of the fiber reinforced polymer composite material to provide a 4 hour fire rating as tested by ASTM E119.
