Overview

FRP-strengthened RC Structures provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the fundamental theory that underpins the use of bonded fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) to strengthen structures. It consolidates the information presented in research papers into one all-encompassing reference on the subject. It provides a self-contained, systematic and thorough treatment of FRP’s uses in concrete, steel, timber and masonry within a unified, theoretical framework. It assumes a basic knowledge of structural engineering in the areas of analysis and design. FRP-strengthened RC Structures begins with a chapter on the fundamentals of RC (reinforced concrete), and goes on to discuss topics including bond behaviour, different methods of strengthening concrete beams, slabs and columns, the seismic retrofit of columns, beam-column joints and concrete frames, the flexoural strengthening of concrete and steel beams, the fatigue behaviour and fire-resistance of frp-strengthened structures, and the strengthening of steel, masonry and timber structures. FRP-strengthened RC Structures will appeal to researchers and code writers as a core reference, designers as an advanced source of information on design guidelines and solutions, and postgraduate and senior undergraduate students in relevant disciplines as a textbook.
