Durability of composites for civil structural applications

Introduction: The use of composites in civil structural applications. Part 1 Aspects of composite durability: Fabrication, quality and service life issues for composites in civil engineering Durability of composites in aqueous environments Durability of composites in freeze-thaw conditions Durability of composites exposed to ultraviolet radiation Durability of composites exposed to elevated temperature and fire Durability of composites under fatigue loads Creep and time-dependent response of composites Durability of composites due to wear and erosion. Part 2 Applications and monitoring of composites in civil engineering: Fibre-reinforced polymer composite structures and structural component Current applications and durability issues Reinforcement of concrete using fibre-reinforced polymer composites External strengthening of structures using fibre-reinforced polymer composites Rehabilitation of concrete structures using fibre-reinforced polymer composites: Identifying potential defects Structural health monitoring and field evaluation of composite durability.
