Civil Engineering has a very important role in practical life because it creates a safe foundation & provides facility for smooth conduction of life. For that purpose, a material named Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is introduced. A relatively new class of non-corrosive, high-strength, and lightweight materials, High flexibility and better suitability for all type of structural members, We can get more strength from the components of building by using it. Fiber Reinforced Polymer is characterized with very much tensile strength, application, and availability. This material may costly but it gives that much benefits which May worth for its higher cost. FRP is a highly suitable smarter material for the smarter constructions of nowadays.Fiber Reinforced Polymer has a very important role in construction work. We can get more strength from the components of building by using it. Fiber Reinforced Polymer is characterized with very much tensile strength, and As it has tensile strength it also help to increase the flexure strength of beam. This material may costly but it gives that much benefits which may worth for its higher cost. FRP is a highly suitable smarter material for the smarter constructions of nowadays.
