This is open access book is a critical review of existing of knowledge fiber-polymer composites, complemented by an original cutting-edge analysis. Fiber-polymer composites are construction materials that offer unique properties to structural engineering and architecture if compared to traditional structural materials, e.g., reinforced concrete or steel. In addition to excellent mechanical properties, physical properties—such as low thermal conductivity, transparency, and color—they allow structural, building physics and architectural functions to be integrated into individual construction elements, thus fulfilling requirements regarding structural safety, energy efficiency, aesthetics, economy, and sustainability at the same time. Complex architectural forms and function integration can be realized in building construction or rapid replacements of deteriorated bridges to reduce the social costs due to traffic congestion. Together with such opportunities, however, composites may also exhibit limitations in their structural application, which can be caused by their anisotropy or viscoelasticity, or in terms of ductility, fatigue and fire resistance, and durability. Such limitations and opportunities of composites are discussed in the book, and it is demonstrated how limitations can be overcome and the opprtunties explored. The book is of great interest to researchers and students in the applied materials sciences as well as structural engineers and architects.

The use of modern composite materials in construction offers the structural engineer and designer exciting opportunities for all types of buildings and structures. By far the most commonly used and longest established composite material is the combined use of steel and concrete in the form known in most parts of the world as 'composite construction'. Composite Construction takes a comprehensive look at recent developments in this fast growing area. With each chapter written by an acknowledged expert in the field, this book aims to link physical behaviour, engineering approximation, appropriately applied theoretical concepts and design approaches. Composite Construction is not simply a code commentary, nor does it deal with topics purely in terms of developing theory from first principles. Rather, the emphasis is strongly placed on providing both the practising engineer and the student with an understanding of physical behaviour, and the intelligent application of this knowledge in practice

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

Containing the edited papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on High Performance Structures and Materials, High Performance Structures and Materials VI addresses the issues involved with advanced types of structures, particularly those based on new concepts or new materials. Contributions will highlight the latest developments in design, optimisation, manufacturing and experimentation in these areas.The use of novel materials and new structural concepts nowadays is not restricted to highly technical areas like aerospace, aeronautical applications or the automotive industry, but affects all engineering fields including those such as civil engineering and architecture. Most high performance structures require the development of a generation of new materials, which can more easily resist a range of external stimuli or react in a non-conventional manner.The book will cover such topics as: Composite materials and structures, Lightweight structures, Nanocomposites, High performance concretes, Concrete fibres, Automotive composites, Steel structures, Natural fibre composites, Timber structures, Material characterisation, Experiments and numerical analysis, Damage and fracture mechanics, Computational intelligence, Adaptable and mobile structures, Environmentally friendly structures.

This book is designed to cover all the necessary bases that are essential in the conceptual design of a composite bridge or building structure, that are material-tailored and thus benefit from the unique physical, mechanical and optical properties of composites and their combinations. It is written from a combined engineering and architectural perspective because the potential multifunctional application of composites requires close collaboration between both architects and engineers. The current knowledge base for the architect and engineer (on the practical or student-level) on the design of bridge and building structures is based more on traditional materials such as concrete, steel and timber, this book is designed to show what is different when using composites and where modifications on the conceptual level have to be taken into account. A further asset of the book is that it is written from the combined perspective of a researcher but also a practical engineer. State-of-the-art research in composite construction is presented as well as future trends, based on recent research results and thus well-founded to have potential for implementation in the near future. Written from the combined perspectives of a researcher, architect and structural engineer Presents state-of-the-art research in composite construction as well as future trends, with strong emphasis on the conceptual design of a material-tailored composite bridge and building structures Includes case studies from the author’s own practical experiences on the design of the Pontresina Bridge, the Eyecatcher Building and Dock Tower in Basel, the Novartis Campus Entrance Building, and the Avancon Bridge

Although the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering have both experienced their own historical development, their interaction has resulted in many fascinating and delightful structures. To take this interaction to a higher level, there is a need to stimulate the inventive and creative design of architectural structures and to persuade architects and structural engineers to further collaborate in this process, exploiting together new concepts, applications and challenges. This set of book of abstracts and full paper searchable CD-ROM presents selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Structures and Architecture Conference (ICSA2016), organized by the School of Architecture of the University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal (July 2016), to promote the synergy in the collaboration between the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering. The set addresses all major aspects of structures and architecture, including building envelopes, comprehension of complex forms, computer and experimental methods, concrete and masonry structures, educating architects and structural engineers, emerging technologies, glass structures, innovative architectural and structural design, lightweight and membrane structures, special structures, steel and composite structures, the borderline between architecture and structural engineering, the history of the relationship between architects and structural engineers, the tectonics of architectural solutions, the use of new materials, timber structures and more. The contributions on creative and scientific aspects of the conception and construction of structures, on advanced technologies and on complex architectural and structural applications represent a fine blend of scientific, technical and practical novelties in both fields. This set is intended for both researchers and practitioners, including architects, structural and construction engineers, builders and building consultants, constructors, material suppliers and product manufacturers, and other experts and professionals involved in the design and realization of architectural, structural and infrastructural projects.

The constant need for cost-effective structural forms has led to the increasing use of composite construction, and a substantial amount of research effort is currently being spent in developing techniques for combining concrete and steel effectively. Significant economies in this form of construction have been observed, especially in bridges and building floors. Codes of Practice on composite construction are being revised in the UK and in Europe, in the light of the substantial amount of knowledge that has been generated in recent years. An International Conference organised by the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, University College, Cardiff, UK, with the specific objective of discussing all types of metal structures in an integrated way, provided a forum for the dissemination of new concepts and for reviewing developments; the expectations of the organisers have been amply justified and exceeded by the level of international response to the call for papers. This volume contains 17 papers on composite steel structures, presented at the Conference, many of which were by well-known experts in their respective fields.
