FRP-Strengthened Metallic Structures / Edition 1

FRP-Strengthened Metallic Structures • 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.
