Can FRP be used to repair water-damaged reinforced concrete beams and girders in a parking garage where the slab supported by the beams and girders is also a parking area?

What steps are needed to prepare existing concrete for using FRP? What about cases where the rebar has corroded due to water infiltration and some of the surface concrete has popped off?

If FRP is used on a new structure, what happens if water infiltrates through the structural members from cracks in the slab? Does the FRP cause the water to be retained in the structural members?

Is FRP is relatively impervious to water?
