The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in infrastructure systems has witnessed a significant surge in recent years, owing to the remarkable durability of composite materials. The FRP composites community is continually advancing and introducing new constituent materials, manufacturing techniques, design approaches, and construction methods to cost-effectively build FRP structural systems.
FRP Composite Structures: Theory, Fundamentals, and Design serves as a valuable resource for understanding and designing these FRP composite structural systems. By elucidating the analysis and design of these systems, the book aims to facilitate the widespread implementation of structural systems with enhanced durability and reduced maintenance costs. It begins by developing simplified mathematical models that represent the behavior of beams and plates under static loads, employing generalized Hookes Law for materials with anisotropic, orthotropic, transversely isotropic, and isotropic properties. These simplified models are then coupled with design methods, including FRP composite material degradation factors, to solve a wide range of practical design problems.
The book explores practical and innovative infrastructure designs and implementations, leveraging contemporary codes that have recently been approved. It includes FRP case studies from around the world, ensuring readers have a comprehensive understanding of the basic mechanics of composite materials before delving into complex numerical calculations. Furthermore, the book details several advanced topics, such as the aging of FRPs, typical failures of structures, including joints, and design simplifications without compromising accuracy. Throughout, end-of-chapter problems and solved examples are provided to reinforce the concepts discussed.
Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and industry professionals interested in the analysis and design of FRP composite structural systems, this textbook offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the field. It provides a solid foundation in the mechanics of composite materials, enabling readers to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios and contribute to the advancement of sustainable infrastructure development.
