FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures A Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repair and Retrofit

FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures A Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repair and Retrofit

High strength fibre composites (FRPs) have been used with civil structures since the 1980s mostly in the repair strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structures. This has attracted considerable research and the industry has expanded exponentially in the last decade. Design guidelines have been developed by professional organizations in a number of countries including USA Japan Europe and China but until now designers have had no publication which provides practical guidance or accessible coverage of the fundamentals. This book fills this void. It deals with the fundamentals of composites and basic design principles and provides step-by-step guidelines for design. Its main theme is the repair and retrofit of un-reinforced reinforced and prestressed concrete structures using carbon glass and other high strength fibre composites. In the case of beams the focus is on their strengthening for flexure and shear or their stiffening. The main interest with columns is the improvement of their ductility; and both strengthening and ductility improvement of un-reinforced structures are covered. Methods for evaluating the strengthened structures are presented. Step by step procedures are set out including flow charts for the various structural components and design examples and practice problems are used to illustrate. As infrastructure ages worldwide and its demolition and replacement becomes less of an option the need for repair and retrofit of existing facilities will increase. Besides its audience of design professionals this book suits graduate and advanced undergraduate students. | FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures A Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repair and Retrofit
