The International Handbook of FRP Composites in Civil Engineering PDF

Advanced FRP composite materials are also emerging for a wide range of civil infrastructure applications. These include everything from bridge decks, bridge strengthening and repairs, and seismic retrofit to marine waterfront structures and sustainable, energy-efficient housing. The International Handbook of FRP Composites in Civil Engineering brings together a wealth of information on advances in materials, techniques, practices, nondestructive testing, and structural health monitoring of FRP composites, specifically for civil infrastructure.

With a focus on professional applications, the handbook supplies design guidelines and standards of practice from around the world. It also includes helpful design formulas, tables, and charts to provide immediate answers to common questions. Organized into seven parts, the handbook covers:

FRP fundamentals, including history, codes and standards, manufacturing, materials, mechanics, and life-cycle costs
Bridge deck applications and the critical topic of connection design for FRP structural members
External reinforcement for rehabilitation, including the strengthening of reinforced concrete, masonry, wood, and metallic structures
FRP composites for the reinforcement of concrete structures, including material characteristics, design procedures, and quality assurance–quality control (QA/QC) issues
Hybrid FRP composite systems, with an emphasis on design, construction, QA/QC, and repair
Quality control, quality assurance, and evaluation using nondestructive testing, and in-service monitoring using structural health monitoring of FRP composites, including smart composites that can actively sense and respond to the environment and internal states
FRP-related books, journals, conference proceedings, organizations, and research sources The International Handbook of FRP Composites in Civil Engineering PDF

Comprehensive yet concise, this is an invaluable reference for practicing engineers and construction professionals, as well as researchers and students. It offers ready-to-use information on how FRP composites can be more effectively utilized in new construction, repair and reconstruction, and architectural engineering.

Reviews – The International Handbook of FRP Composites in Civil Engineering PDF

“Use of FRP composites in civil infrastructure construction has been exponentially increasing in the past few years. The civil and structural engineers are continuously improving design strategies and applying innovative approaches to expand the use of FRP composite in a wider range of civil structures. However, there is a shortage of a comprehensive set of standard practices and a complete volume for design calculations, which is a significant drawback in the development of FRP civil infrastructures for a wider range of civil engineering applications. This handbook will bridge the gap of a lack of A-to-Z references, critical for development and construction of FRP composites civil infrastructure.”
—Dr. Jayantha Epaarachchi, Centre of Excellence in Engineered Fibre Composites, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Australia

“The latest development in nearly all aspects of FRP composites, their applications in civil engineering, and state-of-the-art technologies for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM) of FRP have been expounded in this comprehensive book, which is the result of collaboration among top experts from around the world. … This book will enable FRP in civil engineering and lead it to a very bright future.”
—From the Foreword by Prof. Dr. h.c. Urs Meier, EMPA, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology

“The handbook has a logical approach, covering all the necessary background that any engineer involved in composite materials should know. In addition, it covers all common structural applications by well-known researchers and professionals in the FRP field.”
––Felipe J. Acosta, Ph.D., PE, University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus

“The “International Handbook of FRP Composites in Civil Engineering,” by collecting research from many leaders in the field into a single volume, will be a valuable reference tool for practicing engineers interested in pursuing the great potential gains FRP composites hold for infrastructural applications. By combining a wide range of topics into a single publication, this text should by the first book grabbed off the shelf when engineers are working with a new FRP infrastructural application.”
—Dr. David B. Dittenber, LeTourneau University, West Virginia University (formerly)
