Reinforced Concrete Design with FRP Composites

Reinforced Concrete Design with FRP Composites presents specific information necessary for designing concrete structures with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites as a substitute for steel reinforcement and for using FRP fabrics to strengthen concrete members. Simple and accessible, this book presents the analysis, design, durability, and serviceability of concrete members reinforced with FRP composites. The authors provide fundamental theories of concrete member behavior under different loading conditions and feature analysis and design approaches recommended by the ACI Committee 440 guide documents. The book also includes many practical examples, extensive references, and a glossary of terms.
