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.

Professor Lou is a Professor of Structural Engineering at Wuhan University of Technology since December 2016. He was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellow at the University of Southampton, UK (2017-2019), a FCT Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Coimbra, Portugal (2010-2016), a Research Fellow at Politecnico di Torino, Italy (2008-2010), and a Research Assistant/Associate. He has published 49 articles in leading international journals in the field of civil engineering. Yanan Wu is a PhD student in Structural Engineering at Wuhan University of Technology. She holds a Master's degree in 2022 at Xi 'an University of Technology, and has published two articles in the field of civil engineering. Professor Lopes holds a PhD degree, gained in 1991 from the University of Leeds, UK. He has published more than 80 articles in leading international journals in the field of civil engineering. His research interests cover: behaviour of structural concrete; high strength structures; non metallic reinforcement; non-cementitious concretes; composite timber-concrete structures
