Book Description
The U.S. military must often deploy to other countries where bridges may have insufficient strength for their heavy tactical vehicles. In recent years, fiber-reinforced polymeric (FRP) materials have emerged as a viable retrofit scheme for strengthening reinforced concrete bridges. However, because of stringent application requirements, long cure times, and climatic sensitivity, this technology has yet to prove feasible for military operations where time is often the most critical factor. Furthermore, Army operations are conducted under the broadest range of climatic conditions. For these reasons, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center has undertaken to develop a unique FRP application methodology utilizing powder-actuated mechanical fasteners (i.e., nails from a conventional carpenter's nail gun). This method shows great promise for military applications, since no substrate preparation or adhesive curing is required. Additionally, this method should work well in all but the most extreme environments. For this purpose, numerous laboratory tests have been conducted, and the results have been very promising. This report provides a detailed summary of the first 2 years of testing on this concept.

Design Procedures for the Use of Composites in Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures
Author: Carlo Pellegrino
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 940177336X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
This book analyses the current knowledge on structural behaviour of RC elements and structures strengthened with composite materials (experimental, analytical and numerical approaches for EBR and NSM), particularly in relation to the above topics, and the comparison of the predictions of the current available codes/recommendations/guidelines with selected experimental results. The book shows possible critical issues (discrepancies, lacunae, relevant parameters, test procedures, etc.) related to current code predictions or to evaluate their reliability, in order to develop more uniform methods and basic rules for design and control of FRP strengthened RC structures. General problems/critical issues are clarified on the basis of the actual experiences, detect discrepancies in existing codes, lacunae in knowledge and, concerning these identified subjects, provide proposals for improvements. The book will help to contribute to promote and consolidate a more qualified and conscious approach towards rehabilitation and strengthening existing RC structures with composites and their possible monitoring.
