The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials has had a dramatic impact on civil engineering techniques over the past three decades. FRPs are an ideal material for structural applications where high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios are required. Developments in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for civil engineering outlines the latest developments in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and their applications in civil engineering.

From the second of biennial symposia, 54 papers cover embankment and slope stability, mining, tunneling, soil and structure interaction, dynamic analysis, and constitutive models. They also include applications and case studies of FLAC and three- dimensional FLAC. Among specific topics are a visco-elastic- plastic softening model and its application for solving static and dynamic stability problems in potash mining, the seismic modeling of sheet pile bulkheads for waterfront applications, calculating the collapse strains of floodable rockfills by means of finite difference formulated numerical simulations, the effect of embankment slope on the lateral response of piles, and the softening of coal on the design of yield pillars.

Emanating from a lifelong career in bridge engineering, this well-illustrated volume is an invaluable reference for students and practitioners involved in the design, construction, maintenance and repair of concrete bridges.

As dams age, they are subject to a series of external agents and processes which tend to deteriorate the qualities with which they were originally conceived to stand against these actions. At the same time, it is often necessary to respond to increased safety standards, either in the structural or hydrological fields. Reservoir sedimentation or water quality issues within the reservoir also give raise to problems that must be addressed. Lastly, climatic change in the management of water resources, and the need for sustainability have clearly become new incidence factors with which Dam Owners will have to coexist in the future.
