Strengthening of Concrete Structures Using Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP): Design, Construction and Practical Applications presents a comprehensive guide for the structural design and strengthening of bridge structures using advanced fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Written by Hwai-Chung Wu, this book covers fundamental concepts of FRP materials and composite mechanics while focusing on practical design and construction issues, including inspection and quality control. It offers a critical review and comparison of design guidelines from the US, Japan, and Europe, providing best practice recommendations that fill significant gaps in the literature. Suitable for engineers, architects, academics, and students interested in FRP materials and their structural applications, this practitioner-focused book includes numerous design examples and structural software to facilitate learning and routine design. Comprehensive guidelines on design, inspection, and quality control are also presented, covering both laboratory and field testing information.
