Composites for Construction: Structural Design with FRP Materials teaches how to analyze and design with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) for civil engineering applications. Written and organized in a manner similar to traditional textbooks on steel, concrete or wood design, this book demystifies FRP composites and demonstrate applications where their unique properties make them ideal materials to consider such as off-shore and waterfront structures, bridges, factories, and storage tanks.
The first textbook on the design of FRP for structural engineering applications
Composites for Construction is a one-of-a-kind guide to understanding fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and designing and retrofitting structures with FRP. Written and organized like traditional textbooks on steel, concrete, and wood design, it demystifies FRP composites and demonstrates how both new and retrofit construction projects can especially benefit from these materials, such as offshore and waterfront structures, bridges, parking garages, cooling towers, and industrial buildings.
The code-based design guidelines featured in this book allow for demonstrated applications to immediately be implemented in the real world. Covered codes and design guidelines include ACI 440, ASCE Structural Plastics Design Manual, EUROCOMP Design Code, AASHTO Specifications, and manufacturer-published design guides. Procedures are provided to the structural designer on how to use this combination of code-like documents to design with FRP profiles.
In four convenient sections, Composites for Construction covers:
_ An introduction to FRP applications, products and properties, and to the methods of obtaining the characteristic properties of FRP materials for use in structural design
_ The design of concrete structural members reinforced with FRP reinforcing bars
_ Design of FRP strengthening systems such as strips, sheets, and fabrics for upgrading the strength and ductility of reinforced concrete structural members
_ The design of trusses and frames made entirely of FRP structural profiles produced by the pultrusion process
