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

The Policy of the Ford Administration Toward Cuba Carrot and Stick

The Policy of the Ford Administration Toward Cuba Carrot and Stick

This book presents new aspects of the U. S. Cuba policy during Gerald R. Ford’s presidency (August 9 1974‒January 20 1977). Based in governmental and other sources from the U. S. and Cuba the book examines how the Ford administration broke with Nixon’s hostile policy when the diplomatic and economic isolation of Cuba was ended in the OAS even when the U. S. economic blockade prevailed. In line with the detente policy towards the USSR the Ford administration strived to normalize the relations with Cuba through secret discussions. However the Cuban involvement in the Angolan civil war ended this process of normalization and the U. S. returned to a confrontational policy. Within this framework counterrevolutionary groups in the U. S. could act more or less with impunity towards Cuba but also against Cuban and third-country targets both within and outside the U. S. The book describes the oscillating Cuba policy that was the hallmark of the Ford administration. The Cuban perspective adopted will complement and enrich the knowledge of the U. S. policy toward Cuba during Gerald Ford’s presidency. It is of relevance to everyone interested in the issue and especially for students and researchers within the disciplines of History and Political Science. | The Policy of the Ford Administration Toward Cuba Carrot and Stick

Indwelling Neural Implants Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment

Indwelling Neural Implants Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment

Despite enormous advances made in the development of external effector prosthetics over the last quarter century significant questions remain especially those concerning signal degradation that occurs with chronically implanted neuroelectrodes. Offering contributions from pioneering researchers in neuroprosthetics and tissue repair Indwelling Neural Implants: Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment examines many of these challenges paying particular attention to how the healing of tissues surrounding an implant can impact the intended use of a device. The contributions are divided into four sections · Part one examines wound healing from the initial insertion trauma through the inflammatory and repair process explaining how the action of healing varies throughout different areas of the body. · Part two considers various performance issues specific to particular implant components including those that arise from the chemical mechanical thermal and electrical impact on surrounding tissues. It discusses challenges that result from chronic tissue stimulation and heat effects that occur with on-chip and telemetric processing. · Part three presents both in vitro and in vivo approaches to assessing wound healing response to materials. It includes the contribution of the developer of a chronic hollow fiber membrane implant who explains how an in vivo model is used to assess molecular transport in brain tissue surrounding the implant. · The final section evaluates molecular and materials strategies for intervening in CNS wound repair and enhancing the electrical communication between the electrode surface and the surrounding tissue.
