Consolidation manual with composite materials
This brand new manual aims to photograph the current situation relating to the use of composite materials for the renovation of existing buildings. The work deals extensively with the most used composite materials, considering their use for the consolidation of reinforced concrete and masonry buildings. Characterized by a strong practical and operational imprint, the book provides designers with a clear and detailed picture (both at a macroscopic and microscopic level) of composite materials, including the most innovative ones. Aspects relating to installation are taken into consideration and treated with solutions and application indications. The manual includes a wide range of sizing examples on concrete and masonry elements and useful information on how to correctly insert composite reinforcement systems into calculation software. There is no lack of analysis of the most widespread reinforcement technologies, with precise indications regarding their application methods, reference standards for design, qualification and acceptance on site and the systems to be implemented for adequate protection of reinforcement interventions over time . Andrea Bagni Civil engineer, structuralist, specialized in innovative composite reinforcement systems. Provides technical assistance to designers, from design to application of materials. The technical assistance activity is directly aimed at designers in the building restoration and consolidation sector. Technical speaker at accredited training events in collaboration with professional associations throughout the national territory.
