GRP and Buildings e-bog

GRP and Buildings deals with the different aspects of GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) and tackles them in a sequential order, showing links which the designer should maintain in the design process. The text covers related topics such as the material composition, manufacturing methods, and quality control of GRP; its different uses; and its significance in design in relation to its properties. Also covered in the text are the different methods of structural analysis of GRP; its jointing and fixing; related case studies involving GRP; and the possible future uses of the product. The book is recommended for engineers and materials scientists who would like to know more about GRP, its role in design and construction, and its advances.
