Synopsis

Rehabilitation of Metallic Structural Systems Using Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites, Second Edition provides comprehensive knowledge on the application of FRPs in various types of metallic field structures. Part I provides an overview of the various types of materials and systems and discusses the durability of bonds. Part II focuses on materials-level considerations, such as corrosion and mechanical behavior, putty effects on the effectiveness of pipeline systems, laser joining and the use of carbon and basalt FRP for underwater repair. Building on Part II, the final three sections focus on applications of FRP composites to steel components and various infrastructure systems.

This book will be a standard reference for civil engineers, designers, materials scientists, and other professionals who are involved in the rehabilitation of metallic structures using fiber reinforced polymer composites.

• Contains eighteen new chapters covering materials-level aspects and applications
• Presents materials developments for tailored bonds, durability, and bond behavior
• Includes methods of analysis, testing, and implementation across a broad range of sectors
• Covers design aspects, guidelines, and codes
• Discusses economic aspects and future prospects

From the Back Cover

Although fiber reinforced polymers have been employed for almost three decades, they are still a relatively new technology for most civil engineers. The issue of composite reinforcement of metallic structures raises many questions about the choice of materials, installation on site, durability, and resistance to fatigue and aggressive environments.

Following on the success of the previous edition, Rehabilitation of Metallic Structural Systems Using Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites provides comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge on the application of FRPs in various types of metallic field structures.

Part I provides an overview of the various types of materials and systems available. The durability of bonds is also discussed as well as bond behavior. Part II focuses on materials-level considerations, such as corrosion and mechanical behavior, putty effects on the effectiveness of pipeline systems, laser joining and the use of carbon and basalt FRP for underwater repair. Building on Part II, the final three sections focus on applications of FRP composites to steel components and various infrastructure systems.

The book will be a standard reference for civil engineers, designers, materials scientists, and other professionals who are involved in the rehabilitation of metallic structures using fiber reinforced polymer composites.
