It deals with recent developments in the area of concrete types for enhanced structural performance and sustainability. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesigned as a guide to filling the knowledge gap between research and use in industry, this book presents key information about the development, performance and design of three main materials and critically analyses them to highlight the key mechanical properties and durability characteristics. Design aspects are covered using both research outcomes and available guidelines\/code provisions. Critical evaluation of the mechanical properties of all the examined materials are presented in addition to environmental end economic considerations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelected case studies are also presented for the examined concrete types in a consistent form, focusing on the material properties and on the construction process. Finally, recent findings on the application of the examined materials for the structural strengthening of existing structures are presented and the efficiency of the use of the examined materials is highlighted.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book considers each material in turn focusing on\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ematerial selection and design of concrete mixes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emechanical performance and durability \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edesign of structural elements using these\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ematerials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eselected case studies.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis title is an essential read for engineers and concrete specialists, from students and technicians to practising engineers and researchers, and those looking for sustainable solutions to civil engineering projects involving the selection of specific concretes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andreas Lampropoulos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0727765566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780727765567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ICE Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d","brand":"Andreas Lampropoulos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598245228799,"sku":"9780727765567","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f9635d5-95ee-4064-82bf-6e5c2772c581.jpg?v=1702381416","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fibre-reinforced-concretes-for-high-performance-structures-andreas-lampropoulos-9780727765567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
