Reinforced Concrete with FRP Bars: Mechanics and Design

by Antonio Nanni, Antonio De Luca, Hany Jawaheri Zadeh

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 pr
