Overview

Corrosion-resistant, electromagnetic transparent and lightweight fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are accepted as valid alternatives to steel in concrete reinforcement. Reinforced Concrete with FRP Bars: Mechanics and Design, a technical guide based on the authors more than 30 years of collective experience, provides principles, algorithms, and practical examples. Well-illustrated with case studies on flexural and column-type members, the book covers internal, non-prestressed FRP reinforcement. It assumes some familiarity with reinforced concrete, and excludes prestressing and near-surface mounted reinforcement applications. The text discusses FRP materials properties, and addresses testing and quality control, durability, and serviceability. It provides a historical overview, and emphasizes the ACI technical literature along with other research worldwide.

• Includes an explanation of the key physical mechanical properties of FRP bars and their production methods
• Provides algorithms that govern design and detailing, including a new formulation for the use of FRP bars in columns
• Offers a justification for the development of strength reduction factors based on reliability considerations
• Uses a two story building solved in Mathcad(r) that can become a template for real projects
