Abstract
Deals with strengthening concrete structures by bonding fibre composites to the surface. Discusses the advantages and disadvantages, gives examples of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening, design approach, workmanship and installation, inspection and maintenance. This updated edition also covers extreme loadings, column design, near-surface-mounted (NSM) reinforcement, as well as factors applying to FRP strains rather than stresses and design of members in shear.
