Structures Strengthened with Bonded Composites presents a comprehensive resource on the strengthening of concrete, reinforced and prestressed concrete, masonry, steel and other composite structures using externally-bonded FRP composites. The book emphasizes a systematic and fundamental investigation on bonding and debonding behavior of the FRP-concrete interface and structural performances of FRP-strengthened structures with a combination of experimental, theoretical and numerical studies. This book will appeal to all those concerned with strengthening and retrofitting of existing structures from the effect of additional anticipated loads in the civil sector.

Discusses the FRP strengthening of different types of structures, including bridges, tunnels, buildings, historic structures and underwater constructions Establishes a systematic theory on interfacial fracture mechanics and clarifies different debonding mechanisms Describes design methods and makes comparison of design considerations and methods among different countries Presents temperature and fatigue effects and long-term behavior for different strengthening methods

Analytical Approaches for Reinforced Concrete presents mathematically-derived theories and equations for RC design and construction. The book applies deductive reasoning, logic and mathematics to RC. Laying out, deductively, the principles of RC, it encourages researchers to re-imagine and innovate using a solid conceptual framework. Sections consider the reasoning behind key theories, as well as problems that remain unsolved. The title presents key ideas in simple language and illustrates them clearly to help the reader grasp difficult concepts and develop a solid foundation, grounded in mathematics, for further study and research.

The book is future-oriented, demonstrating theories that are applicable not only to conventional reinforced concrete members, but also to the envisaged structures of tomorrow. Such developments will increasingly require a deep, deductive understanding of RC. This title is the first of its kind, presenting a fresh analytical approach to reinforced concrete design and construction.

Takes an analytical approach to reinforced concrete using mathematics and deduction Lays out the reasoning behind key theories and models in reinforced concrete design and construction Encourages researchers-new and established- to re-imagine and innovate using a solid conceptual framework Presents difficult concepts that are clearly and analytically presented with accompanying illustrations Looks forward to the use of reinforced concrete in the complex structures of the future
