Strengthening and Rehabilitation of Civil Infrastructures by L C Hollaway,J G Teng

By L C Hollaway,J G Teng

The fix of deteriorated, broken and substandard civil infrastructures has develop into the most very important concerns for the civil engineer world wide. this crucial ebook discusses using externally-bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to bolster, rehabilitate and retrofit civil engineering buildings, overlaying such features as fabric behaviour, structural layout and caliber assurance.

The first 3 chapters of the ebook overview structurally-deficient civil engineering infrastructure, together with concrete, steel, masonry and trees constructions. FRP composites utilized in rehabilitation and floor education of the part fabrics also are reviewed. the following 4 chapters take care of the layout of FRP platforms for the flexural and shear strengthening of bolstered concrete (RC) beams and the strengthening of RC columns. the next chapters research the strengthening of metal and masonry buildings with FRP composites. The final 4 chapters of the publication are dedicated to useful issues within the flexural strengthening of beams with unstressed and prestressed FRP plates, toughness of externally bonded FRP composite structures, caliber insurance and regulate, upkeep, fix, and case studies.

With its distinct editors and foreign crew of individuals, Strengthening and rehabilitation of civil infrastructures utilizing fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is a priceless reference advisor for engineers, scientists and technical body of workers in civil and structural engineering engaged on the rehabilitation and strengthening of the civil infrastructure.

  • Reviews using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structurally broken and sub-standard civil engineering structures
  • Examines the position and merits of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in several kinds of buildings resembling masonry and metal strengthening
  • Covers useful issues together with fabric behaviour, structural layout and caliber assurance
