Fiber-Reinforced Polymer: Reinforcement for Concrete by Kiang Hwee Tan

By Kiang Hwee Tan

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement has been utilized in building as both inner or exterior reinforcement for concrete constructions long ago decade. This two-volume textual content provides learn findings with regards to the improvement, layout and alertness of FRP reinforcement in building and rehabilitation works. the subjects comprise FRP fabrics, fabric behaviour, FRP-reinforced and prestressed participants, exterior post-tensioning, sturdiness and hearth resistance, member behaviour less than sustained rather a lot, fatigue lots and blast quite a bit, codes and criteria, and case experiences, in addition to functions in different constructions.

Uncertainty and Optimization in Structural Mechanics

Optimization is usually a discount operation of a distinct volume. This procedure evidently happens in our surroundings and during our actions. for instance, many typical structures evolve, so one can reduce their capability power. Modeling those phenomena then principally is dependent upon our ability to artificially reproduce those strategies.

New Approaches to Structural Mechanics, Shells and Biological Structures

This Festschrift marks the retirement of Professor Chris Calladine, FRS after forty two years at the educating employees of the dept of Engineering, college of Cambridge. It incorporates a sequence of papers contributed by means of his former scholars, colleagues, and buddies. Chris Calladine's learn has ranged very greatly around the box of struc­ tural mechanics, with a selected specialise in the plastic deformation of solids and constructions, and the behaviour of thin-shell constructions.

Geotechnics and Heritage: Case Histories

Conservation of monuments and old websites is among the so much tough difficulties dealing with sleek civilization. It includes quite a few cultural, humanistic, social, technical, affordable and administrative components, intertwining in inextricable styles. The complexity of the subject is such that instructions or innovations for intervention suggestions and layout techniques are tricky to set.

This application has not been discussed in this paper but is evident from the current state of progress and utilization worldwide). For FRP meshes or textiles or fabrics: Definitely in thin concrete products and cement sheet applications and in combination with fibers; they exhibit superior performance while being cost effective.

5). The shear-tendon rupture failure occurred at the flexural-shear-cracking plane in beams with FRP tendons, even when the effective prestress ratio was low (about 40%) and the required amount of steel stirrups were provided according to the ACI code. The ultimate shear displacement and crack width of prestressed beams which failed by shear-tendon rupture were respectively about one third and one half those of similar beams with steel tendons. Adding steel fibers is a possible way to improve the shear resistance of concrete beams prestressed with FRP tendons by avoiding or delaying shear-tendon rupture failure.
