Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement has been used in construction as either internal or external reinforcement for concrete structures in the past decade. This book provides the latest research findings related to the development, design and application of FRP reinforcement in new construction and rehabilitation works. The topics include FRP properties and bond behaviour, externally bonded reinforcement for flexure, shear and confinement, FRP structural shapes, durability, member behaviour under sustained loads, fatigue loads and blast loads, prestressed FRP tendons, structural strengthening applications, case studies, and codes and standards. Contents: .: Volume 1: Keynote Papers; FRP Materials and Properties; Bond Behaviour; Externally Bonded Reinforcement for Flexure; Externally Bonded Reinforcement for Shear; Externally Bonded Reinforcement for Confinement; FRP Structural Shapes; Volume 2: Durability and Maintenance; Sustained and Fatigue Loads; Prestressed FRP Reinforcement and Tendons; Structural Strengthening; Applications in Masonry and Steel Structures; Field Applications and Case Studies; Codes and Standards. Readership: Upper level graduates, graduate students, academics and researchers in materials science and engineering; practising engineers and project managers

Innovative Shear Design presents a new, rational and economical design procedure that offers increased protection against shear for all types of structures. The first part of the book describes the internal forces imposed on any flexurally bent member, and goes on to describe how these can interact with external loading forces to cause failure. The author then details the new design approach, and explains how its implementation can prevent cracking and failure for a given load. The book contains numerous practical examples describing optimum design techniques for all types of structure. Innovative Shear Design is an essential reference for structural designers, architects, academics, and researchers. It will also be a key reference text for students of structural design.
