Durability of Composites for Civil Structural Applications
Woodhead Publishing Ltd, July 2007, Pages: 384
Durability of composites for civil structural applications
- Provides a thorough overview of key aspects of the durability of composites
- Examines mechanisms of degradation such as aqueous solutions, moisture, fatigue and wear
- Discusses ways of using FRP composites, including strengthening and rehabilitating existing structures
- A fundamental guide to the use of FRP composites within civil and structural engineering
Given the increasing use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structural civil engineering, there is a vital need for critical information related to the overall durability and performance of these new materials under harsh and changing conditions. Durability of composites for civil and structural applications provides a thorough overview of key aspects of the durability of FRP composites for designers and practising engineers.
Part 1 discusses general aspects of composite durability. Chapters examine mechanisms of degradation such as moisture, aqueous solutions, UV radiation, temperature, fatigue and wear. Part 2 then discusses ways of using FRP composites, including strengthening and rehabilitating existing structures with FRP composites, and monitoring techniques such as structural health monitoring.
Durability of composites for civil and structural applications will provide practising engineers, decision makers and students with a useful and fundamental guide to the use of FRP composites within civil and structural engineering.
