Analysis and Design of FRP Reinforced Concrete Structures

by Shamsher Bahadur Singh

Overview

The Most Complete FRP Reinforced Concrete Structure Analysis and Design Guide

This comprehensive reference provides proven design procedures for the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials for reinforcement, prestressing, and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. The characteristics of FRP composite materials as well as the latest manufacturing techniques are discussed. Detailed illustrations and tables, design equations, end-of-chapter problems, and real-world case studies are included in this authoritative resource.

Analysis and Design of FRP Reinforced Concrete Structures covers:
