FRP-Strengthened Metallic Structures

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers the behavior and design of fiber-reinforced polymer strengthened metallic structures based on existing international research. It outlines the applications, existing design guidance, and the special characteristics of FRP composites within the context of their use in the strengthening of metallic structures. It addresses the bond behavior between FRP and metal, and the strengthening of members, and then looks at bending, compression and concentrated forces, and the improvement of fatigue performance. It serves as a resource for engineers, researchers, and graduate students.
