Synopsis

The book discusses the mechanical and in-service properties, the relevant manufacturing techniques and aspects related to externally bonded FRP composites to strengthen/rehabilitate/retrofit civil engineering structural materials. The book concentrates upon: The mechanical properties of the FRP materials used; The analysis and design of strengthening/rehabilitating/retrofitting beams and columns manufactured from reinforced concrete (RC), metallic and masonry materials; Failure modes of strengthening systems; Site preparation of the two adherend materials; Durability issues; Quality control, maintenance and repair of structural systems; Some case studies.

Key Features: reviews the use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structurally damaged and sub-standard civil engineering structures; examines the role and benefits of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in different types of structures such as masonry and metallic strengthening; covers practical considerations including material behaviour, structural design and quality assurance.

Contents: Structurally deficient civil engineering infrastructure: Concrete, metallic, masonry and timber structures; Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites used in rehabilitation; Surface preparation of component materials; Flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with fibre-reinforced polymer composites; Shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams with fibre-reinforced polymer composites; Strengthening of reinforced concrete columns with fibre-reinforced polymer composites; Design guidelines for fibre-reinforced polymer strengthened reinforced concrete structures; Strengthening of metallic structures with fibre-reinforced polymer composites; Strengthening of masonry structures with fibre-reinforced polymer composites; Flexural strengthening application of fibre-reinforced polymer plates; Durability of externally bonded fibre-reinforced polymer composite systems; Quality assurance/quality control, maintenance and repair; Case studies.
