Springer Concrete-Filled Double Skin Steel Tubular Column with Hybrid Fibre Reinforced Polymer: Post Fire Repair (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)

This book highlights the residual strength of the CFDST column, that can be used to determine the most suitable repair method in order to retrofit the column. The book elaborates on the behavior of CFDST column after being exposed to fire. This book also discusses the effectiveness of repair method using single and Hybrid Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) of fire-damaged CFDST columns. It concludes by taking a look at different parameters such as thickness of outer steel tube and fire exposure time as factors affecting thermal properties/stability.   From the Back Cover   About the Author Prof. Choong Kok Keong graduated with B.
