Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrappings are employed to upgrade the bridge piers of infrastructures.The bridge pier might subject to stone impact resulting from the muddy flow or rain storm.An energy absorbing layer made of polyurea material is sprayed over the FRP wrapping to absorb the impact energy.An experimental program is performed to evaluate the impact energy absorptive capacity of this polyurea coating FRP system.
