Prestressed Members with External Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Tendons

Capture the future of prestressing with Prestressed Members with External Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Tendons by Tiejiong Lou, Yanan Wu, and Sergio M.R. Lopes — an essential resource for engineers and researchers tackling corrosion-resistant, high-performance solutions in modern infrastructure.

From the first page you’re drawn into clear, practice-focused explanations of external FRP tendon systems, their mechanical behavior, long-term durability, and design considerations for bridges, buildings, and marine structures. The authors combine laboratory evidence, analytical models, and real-world case studies to translate complex topics — such as anchorage mechanics, tendon-to-structure interaction, and serviceability under cyclic loads — into actionable guidance for design and rehabilitation projects.

This book is tailored for structural and civil engineers, consultants, academics, and graduate students who need authoritative insight on specifying and implementing FRP tendons for prestressed members. It addresses performance advantages like corrosion resistance, reduced maintenance, and lightweight design while discussing practical challenges and quality-control measures critical for successful deployment across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific markets.

Readable yet rigorous, the text helps you bridge theory and practice: adopt sustainable materials, improve lifespan estimates, and refine detailing and inspection protocols for long-term performance. With contributions from leading experts and robust empirical backing, it’s a go-to reference for modern prestressing strategies.
