Structural strengthening techniques based on composite materials, including, but not limited to, fiber-reinforced polymers, fiber-reinforced glasses, steel-reinforced polymers, and steel-reinforced glasses represent a practice employed internationally and have become an important component in the restoration of buildings impacted by natural hazards and other destructive forces. New Composite Materials: Selection, Design, and Application stands as a highly relevant and diverse effort, distinct from other technical publications dealing with building issues. The book focuses extensively on characterization of techniques employed for structural restoration and examines in detail an assortment of materials such as concrete, wood, masonry, and steel. This book also: Provides engineers and architects a lucid explanation of how to easily design an innovative system of structural reinforcement with composite materials Presents detail for readers to readily assess the feasibility of reinforcement applications Includes a section for construction managers written to facilitate installation of composite structural reinforcement materials with maximum efficiency and cost-benefit Features many examples of applications and construction details to help engineers and architects realize their projects Offers a comparative analysis among various international technical standards. 606 $aComposite materials 615 0$aComposite materials. 676 $a620.11 676 $a620.14 676 $a691 700 $aBrigante$b Domenico$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0516193 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298636903321 996 $aNew Composite Materials$92519088 997 $aUNINA
