Modern Methods in FRP-Based Structural Retrofitting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798182273985)

Modern Methods in FRP-Based Structural Retrofitting provides a comprehensive exploration of the state-of-the-art in infrastructure rehabilitation, guiding the reader from fundamental structural principles to the latest advancements in automated construction technology. The book begins by establishing the necessity of structural renewal, grounded in the material science of Fiber Reinforced Polymers, before transitioning into sophisticated health monitoring and limit-state design frameworks. The text is structured to address the complexities of diverse structural substrates-ranging from traditional reinforced concrete to aging steel and timber-while emphasizing the critical importance of the adhesive bond interface and precise field installation protocols. By addressing specialized applications such as seismic resilience and exploring the cutting-edge integration of robotics, artificial intelligence, and digital twin technology, the book provides a holistic view of the entire rehabilitation lifecycle. Ultimately, this work serves as an essential resource for practitioners and researchers, advocating for a transition toward resilient, sustainable infrastructure management that balances rigorous limit-state analysis with a profound commitment to long-term asset stewardship.
