Flexural behavior of FRP reinforced concrete beam

Více o knize

The book explores the distinct flexural behavior of FRP reinforced concrete beams compared to traditional steel-reinforced structures, highlighting the significant differences in material properties. It critiques conventional design methods, which are inadequate for FRP reinforcements, leading to unsafe predictions regarding load capacity and deformations. The author proposes a straightforward, user-friendly method for evaluating FRP reinforced concrete under bending loads, employing 1D finite elements without the need for specialized software.
