First textbook on the design of FRP for structural engineering applications.

Code-based design guidelines allows for immediate application of the examples in current practice. Codes covered include IBC 2000, FEMA 5000, ACI Building Code, AISC, ICC, and European, Asian and Canadian design guides and standards.
Divided into three sections covering pultruded shapes and "stand-alone" FRP structures, design of concrete members reinforced with FRP bars, and design of FRP for retrofitting reinforced concrete and masonry structures.
Each chapter includes worked problems, an overview and a brief summary to assist the student in learning the material.
Includes standard test methods for FRP composites (ASTM, ACI).
Several appendices provide handy reviews key concepts such as micromechanics of composite materials, classical lamination theory, and the design of steel and concrete beams and colums.
Written by a well-known and acknowledged leader in the field and the founding Editor and former Editor-in-Chief of the ASCE Journal of Composites for Construction
