The European Technical Specification CEN/TS 19101: 2022, Design of fibre-polymer composite structures, published in November 2022, constitutes a milestone for the use of fibre-polymer composites in civil engineering structures. These 15 worked examples provide designers with step-by-step application examples that illustrate the practical use of the Technical Specification. Eleven examples are highly detailed, focusing at the member or connection level; and the other four are more general, focusing at the structure level.
This book provides a powerful and enlightening resource for designers and graduate students.
