description: One hundred &amp; forty papers, written by contributors from 26 countries, were first presented at the 6th International Symposium on Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Reinforcement for Concrete Structures (July 2003), held in Singapore, where editor Tan teaches at the National U. Four keynote lectures provide an overview and describe durability design of GFRP rods and new types of continuous fiber reinforcements. Other topics include a stress-strain model for FRP-confined concrete in design applications, bond behavior of CFRP strips glued into slits, debonding failure of RC structural members strengthened with FRP laminates, shear performance with externally bonded carbon fiber fabrics, hood rupture strains of FRP jackets in FRP-confined concrete, durability of GFRP composites in tropical climates, and the viability of CFRP laminates to repair RC beams corroded under sustained loads. Numerous papers are also included on structural strengthening and applications in masonry and steel structures. Author indexed only. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
