This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The primary objective of this chapter is first to introduce and demonstrate the application of thermoplastic (woven glass reinforced polypropylene) in the design of modular fiber-reinforced bridge decks, and next the development of jackets for confining concrete columns against compression and impact loading. The design concept and manufacturing processes of the thermoplastic bridge deck composite structural system are presented by recognizing the structural demands required to support highway traffic. Then the results of the small-scale static cylinder tests and the impact tests of concrete columns are presented, demonstrating that thermoplastic reinforcement jackets act to restrain the lateral expansion of the concrete that accompanies the onset of crushing, maintaining the integrity of the core concrete, and enabling much higher compression strains (compared to CFRP composite wraps) to be sustained by the compression zone before failure occurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research project is to outline methodologies for using Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites to strengthen and rehabilitate reinforced concrete bridge elements. Infrastructure deterioration and bridge strengthening techniques using FRP materials are discussed as background. Properties and classifications of different reinforcing fibers and resin matrices are provided, along with the mechanical properties of the FRP composites. Basic concepts and design principles for composite FRP materials are introduced, and topics such as manufacturing processes, anisotropic elasticity, strength of anisotropic materials, and micro-mechanics are presented. Techniques and concepts for strengthening concrete beams with FRP composites are discussed, as are flexural and shear strengthening design and construction methodologies. The worldwide research experience in the behavior of FRP strengthened beams under various conditions are summarized. External reinforcement of concrete columns using FRP materials is examined. Theoretical background, factors influencing the performance of FRP wrapped columns, and various case studies are presented. Design methodologies and examples supplement the case studies for both beams and columns. Most FRP material systems available on the market today are summarized and evaluated. Construction and durability requirements of the retrofitted systems are presented. Reliability assessment, condition evaluation methods, and factors influencing the strengthening quality are included. The various steps of the construction process, such as selection of a composite strengthening system, concrete surface preparation, and bond between FRP and concrete are summarized. Quality control, environmental durability of FRP composites, and cost effectiveness are presented.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global response to COVID-19 has demonstrated the importance of vigilance and preparedness for infectious diseases, particularly influenza. There is a need for more effective influenza vaccines and modern manufacturing technologies that are adaptable and scalable to meet demand during a pandemic. The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines has demonstrated what is possible with extensive data sharing, researchers who have the necessary resources and novel technologies to conduct and apply their research, rolling review by regulators, and public-private partnerships. As demonstrated throughout the response to COVID-19, the process of research and development of novel vaccines can be significantly optimized when stakeholders are provided with the resources and technologies needed to support their response. Vaccine Research and Development to Advance Pandemic and Seasonal Influenza Preparedness and Response focuses on how to leverage the knowledge gained from the COVID-19 pandemic to optimize vaccine research and development (R&D) to support the prevention and control of seasonal and pandemic influenza. The committee's findings address four dimensions of vaccine R&D: (1) basic and translational science, (2) clinical science, (3) manufacturing science, and (4) regulatory science.

This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter presents a systematic approach for material characterization, analysis, and design of all-fiber-reinforced polymer or plastic (FRP) composite structures. The suggested ‘bottom-up’ analysis concept is applied throughout the procedure, from materials/microstructures, to macro components, to structural members, and finally to structural systems, thus providing a systematic analysis methodology for all-FRP composite structures. The systematic approach described in this chapter can be used efficiently to analyze and design FRP shapes and bridge systems and also develop new design concepts for all composite structures.
