Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) are considered to be a promising alternative to steel reinforcement, especially in concrete structures subjected to an aggressive environment or to the effects of electromagnetic fields. Although attempts to develop effective reinforcement have been followed, the application of FRPs remains limited by the solution to simple structural problems that mainly appear due to the absence of design codes, significant variation in the material properties of FRP composites and limited knowledge gained by engineers as regards the application aspects of FRP composites and structural mechanics of concrete elements reinforced with FRPs. To fill the latter gap, the current state-of-the-art report is dedicated to present recent achievements in FRPs applying practice to a broad engineers’ community. The report also revises the manufacturing process, material properties, the application area and design peculiarities of concrete elements reinforced with FRP composites. Along the focus on internal reinforcement, the paper overviews recent practices of applying FRP reinforced concrete (RC) elements in structural engineering. The review highlights the main problems restricting the application of FRPs in building industry and reveals the problematic issues (related to the material properties of the FRP) important for designing RC following the formulation of targets for further research.

<p>Earthquakes can cause considerable fatalities, injuries and financial loss. The forces of nature cannot be blamed, as the problem lies with the structures in seismic regions that may not have been designed or constructed to a sufficient degree to resist earthquake actions or they may have design flaws. This Structural Engineering Document (SED) concerns reinforced concrete and masonry buildings together with geotechnical aspects and presents in a concise and practical way the state of the art of current understanding of building failures due to earthquakes. It classifies the different types of seismic failure, explains the reasons for each failure, describes good practices to avoid such failures and also describes seismic retrofitting/upgrading procedures for pre-earthquake strengthening and post-earthquake repair and/or strengthening techniques for deficient buildings. Carefully selected photographs and diagrams illustrate the different failure types. This document could be considered as quite unique, as this is the first time such material concerning characteristic seismic failures of buildings has been presented together in one single document. It is intended to be a valuable educational reference textbook aimed at all levels of experience of engineers. It provides background information, ideas, guidance and reassurance to engineers in earthquake regions faced with the task of building a safer future for the public and to protect lives. <p> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Oddi3VTtxCM" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Abstract Future space telescopes will be required to have significantly greater aperture and lower areal density than is currently achievable. Gossamer spacecraft structures have been proposed as a means of achieving this, but the technologies are far from mature. A state-of-the-art review is timely and necessary as new structural paradigms are being considered for the next generation of space telescopes. There is, however, a knowledge gap between the structural engineering community and the additional fields involved in the complete telescope system, leading to the proposal of structures which are unlikely to be launched. It is hoped that, by providing a resource by which structural engineers are made aware of the wider issues in telescope design, this review will serve to overcome this knowledge gap to facilitate productive collaboration.

Structural System Identification

Bayesian inference provides a powerful approach to system identification and damage assessment for structures. The application of Bayesian method is motivated by the fact that inverse problems in structural engineering, including structural health monitoring, are typically ill-conditioned and ill-posed when using noisy incomplete data because of various sources of modeling uncertainties. One should not just search for a single “optimal” value for the vector of model parameters but rather attempt to describe the whole family of plausible model parameters based on measured data using a Bayesian probabilistic framework. In this article, the fundamental principles of Bayesian analysis and computation are summarized; then a review is given of recent state-of-the-art practices of Bayesian inference in system identification and damage assessment for civil infrastructure. Discussions of the benefits and deficiencies of these approaches, as well as potentially useful avenues for future studies, are also provided. Our focus is on meeting challenges that arise from system identification and damage assessment for the civil infrastructure but our presented theories also have a considerably broader applicability for inverse problems in science and technology.

Successful use of high performance composite materials was first made in the aircraft industry and, to a lesser extent, in the automobile industry. The use of these materials in civil engineering is now a reality, particularly for prestressing applications. This state-of-the-art paper deals with composite materials used for cables. It describes the composition of fiber prestressing cables and presents their mechanical properties. The anchorages, the advantages and disadvantages of these cables, their field of applications, and three successful applications in structural engineering are also discussed. Key words: composite materials, prestressing, fiber cables, concrete.
