This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many studies have been conducted on the structural behavior of concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube (CFFT), the soil-structure interaction of CFFT piles was not previously considered. In this study, a numerical model is developed to study CFFT pile behavior and interactions with soil foundation under lateral loading. The model, based on nonlinear finite element analysis (NFEA) and the disturbed state concept (DSC), considers material and geometrical nonlinearities as well as the interface of soil with the CFFT pile. The finite element model was verified against a full-scale field test from the literature conducted during the construction of a highway bridge. Based on deflection along the length of the pile, the model results are in good agreement with the experimental data. To investigate the effects of various parameters on the behavior of CFFT piles and local buckling, a parametric study was also performed on different geometrical and material properties, including the pile diameter to length ratio, FRP tube thickness, concrete strength, and soil properties. It was found that the surrounding soil and length to diameter ratio exerted the most noticeable influence, followed by concrete strength while the FRP thickness had the least impact on the results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first textbook on the design of FRP for structural engineering applications Composites for Construction is a one-of-a-kind guide to understanding fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and designing and retrofitting structures with FRP. Written and organized like traditional textbooks on steel, concrete, and wood design, it demystifies FRP composites and demonstrates how both new and retrofit construction projects can especially benefit from these materials, such as offshore and waterfront structures, bridges, parking garages, cooling towers, and industrial buildings. The code-based design guidelines featured in this book allow for demonstrated applications to immediately be implemented in the real world. Covered codes and design guidelines include ACI 440, ASCE Structural Plastics Design Manual, EUROCOMP Design Code, AASHTO Specifications, and manufacturer-published design guides. Procedures are provided to the structural designer on how to use this combination of code-like documents to design with FRP profiles. In four convenient sections, Composites for Construction covers: * An introduction to FRP applications, products and properties, and to the methods of obtaining the characteristic properties of FRP materials for use in structural design * The design of concrete structural members reinforced with FRP reinforcing bars * Design of FRP strengthening systems such as strips, sheets, and fabrics for upgrading the strength and ductility of reinforced concrete structural members * The design of trusses and frames made entirely of FRP structural profiles produced by the pultrusion process

Download or read book Advanced Composites written by Viktor Gribniak and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-06-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering practice has revealed that innovative technologies’ structural applications require new design concepts related to developing materials with mechanical properties tailored for construction purposes. This would allow the efficient use of engineering materials. The efficiency can be understood in a simplified and heuristic manner as the optimization of performance and the proper combination of structural components, leading to the consumption of the least amount of natural resources. The solution to the eco-optimization problem, based on the adequate characterization of the materials, will enable implementing environmentally friendly engineering principles when the efficient use of advanced materials guarantees the required structural safety. Identifying fundamental relationships between the structure of advanced composites and their physical properties is the focus of this book. The collected articles explore the development of sustainable composites with valorized manufacturability corresponding to Industrial Revolution 4.0 ideology. The publications, amongst others, reveal that the application of nano-particles improves the mechanical performance of composite materials; heat-resistant aluminium composites ensure the safety of overhead power transmission lines; chemical additives can detect the impact of temperature on concrete structures. This book demonstrates that construction materials’ choice has considerable room for improvement from a scientific viewpoint, following heuristic approaches.

Book excerpt: This collection of papers, which was subjected to strict peer-review by 2 to 4 expert referees, aims to collect together the latest advances in, and applications of, traditional constructional materials, advanced constructional materials and green building materials. It cannot fail to suggest new ideas and strategies to be tried in this field. Review from Book News Inc.: This four-volume set contains peer-reviewed papers from a June 2011 conference, describing the latest achievements, applications, and trends in civil engineering, architecture, and building materials. In addition to covering traditional construction materials, papers also report on research in advanced materials and green building materials. Other areas explored are environmental architecture, equipment engineering, and energy-saving technologies for construction. Some specific paper topics include the behavior of reinforced concrete subjected to boric acid corrosion in a nuclear power plant, fireproof performance of foam concrete insulation board, the application of glazed hollow beads in thermal insulation, and aerated concrete produced by iron tailings. Other subjects examined include application of thermoelectric generation technology in building-integrated photovoltaics, the use of radar technology in concrete water content testing, temperature crack and control measures of long-span beam-type conversion layers, and detection of destruction in urban pavement. Related topics include policies on recycling of construction waste, and construction equipment life-cycle cost studies. Some papers include b & w images. There is no subject index.
