The Most Complete FRP Reinforced Concrete Structure Analysis and Design Guide

This comprehensive reference provides proven design procedures for the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials for reinforcement, prestressing, and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. The characteristics of FRP composite materials as well as the latest manufacturing techniques are discussed. Detailed illustrations and tables, design equations, end-of-chapter problems, and real-world case studies are included in this authoritative resource.

Analysis and Design of FRP Reinforced...

This book deals with the introduction of various kinds of advanced composite materials such as carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), aramid fiber-reinforced polymer (AFRP), and basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP). This book covers the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced composite materials. The primary advantages, such as high specific strength and stiffness, of advance composite materials result in lighter and durable structures. On the other hand, its linear elastic behavior till failure has been highlighted as the main disadvantage for...
