Composites for Construction is a one-of-a-kind guide to understanding fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and designing and retrofitting structures with FRP. Written and organized like traditional textbooks on steel, concrete, and wood design, it demystifies FRP composites and demonstrates how both new and retrofit construction projects can especially benefit from these materials, such as offshore and waterfront structures, bridges, parking garages, cooling towers, and industrial buildings. The code-based design guidelines featured in this book allow for demonstrated applications to immediately be implemented in the real world. Covered codes and design guidelines include ACI 440, ASCE Structural Plastics Design Manual, EUROCOMP Design Code, AASHTO Specifications, and manufacturer-published design guides. Procedures are provided to the structural designer on how to use this combination of code-like documents to design with FRP profiles UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/9780470121429 UR - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9780470121429 UR - http://external.dandelon.com/download/attachments/dandelon/ids/DE00421452C17CB9FCE16C12578720041D73E.pdf UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip062/2005030950.html ER -
