Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are becoming
increasingly popular as a material for rehabilitating aging and
damaged structures. "Rehabilitation of Metallic Civil
Infrastructure Using Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites"
explores the use of fiber-reinforced composites for enhancing the
stability and extending the life of metallic infrastructure such as
bridges.
Part I provides an overview of materials and repair,
encompassing topics of joining steel to FRP composites, finite
element modeling, and durability issues. Part II discusses the use
of FRP composites to repair steel components, focusing on
thin-walled (hollow) steel sections, steel tension members, and
cracked aluminum components. Building on Part II, the third part of
the book reviews the fatigue life of strengthened components.
Finally, Part IV covers the use of FRP composites to rehabilitate
different types of metallic infrastructure, with chapters on
bridges, historical metallic structures and other types of metallic
infrastructure.
"Rehabilitation of Metallic Civil Infrastructure Using
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites" represents a standard
reference for engineers and designers in infrastructure and
fiber-reinforced polymer areas and manufacturers in the
infrastructure industry, as well as academics and researchers in
the field.
