Concrete Pressure Pipe

This book contains more than 500 exercise, divided into six categories: (1) Warmups are execises that every reader shoulr try to do when first reading the material. (2) Basics are exercises to develop facts that are best learned by trying one's own derivation rather that by reading somebody else's. (3) Homework exercises are problems intended to deepen an understanding of material in the current chapter. (4) Exam problems typically involve ideas from two or more chapters simultaneously; they are generally intended for use in take-home exams (not for in-class exams under time pressure). (5) Bonus problems go beyond what an average student of concrete mathematics is expected to handle while taking a course based on this book; they extend the text in in...

High strength fibre composites (FRPs) have been used with civil structures since the 1980s, mostly in the repair, strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structures. This has attracted considerable research, and the industry has expanded exponentially in the last decade. Design guidelines have been developed by professional organizations in a number of countries including USA, Japan, Europe and China, but until now designers have had no publication which provides practical guidance or accessible coverage of the fundamentals. This book fills this void. It deals with the fundamentals of composites, and basic design principles, and provides step-by-step guidelines for design. Its main theme is the repair and retrofit of un-reinforced, reinforced an...
