This has attracted considerable research, and the industry has expanded exponentially in the last decade. Design guidelines have been developed by professional organizations in a number of countries including USA, Japan, Europe and China, but until now designers have had no publication which provides practical guidance or accessible coverage of the fundamentals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book fills this void. It deals with the fundamentals of composites, and basic design principles, and provides step-by-step guidelines for design. Its main theme is the repair and retrofit of un-reinforced, reinforced and prestressed concrete structures using carbon, glass and other high strength fibre composites. In the case of beams, the focus is on their strengthening for flexure and shear or their stiffening. The main interest with columns is the improvement of their ductility; and both strengthening and ductility improvement of un-reinforced structures are covered. Methods for evaluating the strengthened structures are presented. Step by step procedures are set out, including flow charts, for the various structural components, and design examples and practice problems are used to illustrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs infrastructure ages worldwide, and its demolition and replacement becomes less of an option, the need for repair and retrofit of existing facilities will increase. Besides its audience of design professionals, this book suits graduate and advanced undergraduate students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerumalsamy Balaguru \u003c\/strong\u003eis Distinguished Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rutgers University, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Nanni\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor and Chair of the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Miami, USA, and Professor in the Department of Structural Engineering (DIST) at the University of Naples \"Federico II\", Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Giancaspro \u003c\/strong\u003eis Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Miami, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 322\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 12, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51792165863712,"sku":"9780367865733","price":145.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/db57f4c9ec3cfe2e95b46e8d31353e7a.webp?v=1780695589","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/frp-composites-for-reinforced-and-prestressed-concrete-structures-a-guide-to-fundamentals-and-design-for-repair-and-retrofit-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
