Publisher's Synopsis
Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement has been used in construction as either internal or external reinforcement for concrete structures in the past decade. This is the first part of a two-volume text presenting research findings related to the development, design and application of FRP reinforcement in construction and rehabilitation works. The topics include FRP materials, material behaviour, FRP-reinforced and prestressed members, external post-tensioning, durability and fire resistance, member behaviour under sustained loads, fatigue loads and blast loads, codes and standards, and case studies, as well as applications in other structures.
