Wolters Kluwer | Lippincott Williams and Wilkins Developments In Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (Frp) Composites For Civil Engineering by Uddin N
The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials has had a dramatic impact on civil engineering techniques over the past three decades. FRPs are an ideal material for structural applications where high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios are required. Developments in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for civil engineering outlines the latest developments in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and their applications in civil engineering. Part one outlines the general developments of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) use, reviewing recent advancements in the design and processing techniques of composite materials. Part two outlines particular types of fiber-reinforced polymers and covers their use in a wide range of civil engineering and structural applications, including their use in disaster-resistant buildings, strengthening steel structures and bridge superstructures. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Developments in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for civil engineering is an essential text for researchers and engineers in the field of civil engineering and industries such as bridge and building construction. * Outlines the latest developments in fiber-reinforced polymer composites and their applications in civil engineering* Reviews recent advancements in the design and processing techniques of composite materials* Covers the use of particular types of fiber-reinforced polymers in a wide range of civil engineering and structural applications
