Rehabilitation of Metallic Structural Systems Using Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites

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 applicationsPresents materials developments for tailored bonds, durability, and bond behaviorIncludes methods of analysis, testing, and implementation across a broad range of sectorsCovers design aspects, guidelines, and codesDiscusses economic aspects and future prospects INDICE: Part I: Introduction and Overview1.
