This book provides an overview of using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tendons in structural engineering projects-including the design, assessment and modeling of their use. External prestressing is a powerful technique in the construction and strengthening of various structures. The conventional use of prestressing steel is, however, naturally prone to corrosion. The best strategy to solve completely the corrosion problem is the use of nonmetal materials instead of prestressing steel. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are ideal materials used for external tendons for their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and low weight. This book provides an overview of using FRRPs, including how to predict the short-and long-term behavior of externally prestressed concrete or steel-concrete composite members, their second-order effects; and examining the effectiveness of using FRP tendons instead of steel tendons for external prestressing. Key Features, Covers the use of FRP tendons when centred to those with external steel tendons, including key design issues, Addresses important topics in the field, including the second-order effects at immediate and sustained loads, Examines the stress in external tendons, moment, redistribution, linear transformation of external cables, prestress secondary moments, Covers long-term deformation prediction, Prestressed Members with External Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Tendons: Design, Assessment and Modelling provides an overview of using FRPs, including how to predict the short-term and long-term behavior of externally prestressed concrete or steel-concrete composite members, their second-order effects, and how to examine the effectiveness of using FRP tendons instead of steel tendons for external prestressing. As external prestressing is considered to be one of the most powerful techniques in strengthening of existing structures, this book provides a comprehensive resource on the topics covered.
