Prestressed Members with External Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Tendons: Design, Assessment and Modelling provides an overview of using FRPs, including how to predict the short-term and long-term behavior of externally prestressed concrete or steel-concrete composite members, their second-order effects, and how to examine the effectiveness of using FRP tendons instead of steel tendons for external prestressing. As external prestressing is considered to be one of the most powerful techniques in strengthening of existing structures, this book provides a comprehensive resource on the topics covered.The conventional use of prestressing steel is, however, naturally prone to corrosion. The best strategy to solve completely the corrosion problem is the use of nonmetal materials instead of prestressing steel. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are ideal materials used for external tendons for their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and low weight.

Today, software applications make cost estimation and management easier than ever before, but the role played by a construction professional who undertakes financial control and performance of a project remains as crucial as ever. Digital Management of Construction Costs provides readers with a route to understand how technology is dynamically transforming the construction sector and informs them of digital-first practices that can lead to more accurate forecasting and budgeting during the planning process, benchmarking, and monitoring throughout the expected delivery timeline. Theoretical principles and methodological techniques are accompanied by applied investigations of cases where improved efficiencies brought about by the uptake of novel solutions have led to successful bids or project completion. Added value is also provided by findings of the literature review, a framework conceptualized within the context of digitalization, and a discussion on future directions and implications.Written by experts in academia who aim to foster further subject matter research by compiling a useful reference resource, this book proves to be beneficial to both early-career practitioners and professionals in a more advanced stage of their career who wish to keep abreast of the most recent developments in their field.
