Focusing on the fundamentals of internal, non-prestressed FRP reinforcement, the book illustrates and explains the mechanics of FRP reinforced concrete. It addresses the topical questions of test methods, durability, and serviceability, and is well illustrated with case studies on flexural and column-type members. It suits practitioners worldwide.

Zusammenfassung
Corrosion-resistant, electromagnetic transparent and lightweight fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are accepted as valid alternatives to steel in concrete reinforcement. Reinforced Concrete with FRP Bars: Mechanics and Design, a technical guide based on the authors more than 30 years of collective experience, provides principles, algorithms, and pr
