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. 576 pp.
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
