Concrete reinforcement made of fiber reinforced polymers is becoming affordable and is now a better option than steel for an increasing number of applications. Its corrosion resistance, light weight and specific mechanical properties give it a number of advantages. Yet there is little information at the intermediate level on the principles and practice of its use, and little useful guidance on design or reinforcement detailing.

Focusing on the fundamentals of internal, non-prestressed FRP reinforcement, the book is not limited to one code of practice. It addresses the topical questions of test methods, durability and serviceability; and is well illustrated with twelve case studies on bridge decks (Lora Bridge, Italy), bridge railings (Drummond Road Bridge, Canada), retaining walls and foundations (Sanibel Island Seawall, Florida), and soft-eyes (Cenituurbaan Station, Netherlands). It should suit practitioners worldwide.
