Below is an outline of the project details:
- Lab work creating steel cages with basalt FRP and steel.
- Making concrete blocks and testing for flexural behaviours.
- 8k word dissertation discussing the best option of design and analysing the most optimal combinations.
- Written calculations before and after failure.
