Authored by Professor Xiao-Ling Zhao, a leading name in structural engineering, this engaging and interesting text leads the reader through the different aspects involved in applying an emerging structural material, Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP), for strengthening of metallic structures. Covering bond behaviour between FRP and metal, flexural strengthening of steel beams with FRP laminates, strengthening of compression members, capacity of FRP-strengthened steel sections and many others highlighted in the description below.
FRP-Strengthened Metallic Structures explores the behaviour and design of these structures, from basic concepts to design recommendations. It covers bond behaviour between FRP and steel, and describes improvement of fatigue performance, bending, compression, and bearing forces, strengthening of compression and steel tubular members, strengthening for enhanced fatigue and seismic performance, and strengthening against web crippling of steel sections. It also provides examples of performance improvement by FRP strengthening.
• Summarizes worldwide research on the FRP strengthening of metallic structures
• Contains several topics not generally covered in existing texts
• Presents comprehensive, topical references throughout the book
The book outlines the applications, existing design guidance, and special characteristics of FRP composites within the context of their use in structural strengthening. While the major focus is on steel structures, it also describes others, such as aluminium structures. This book is suitable for structural engineers, researchers, and university students interested in the FRP strengthening technique..
