• Abstract:
  This manual provides guidelines to structural engineers designing plastics and reinforced plastics structural components. It discusses applications commonly used in building construction, transportation structures and vehicles, process industries, sanitary facilities, and marine vessels and structures. The volume of devotes space to the fundamentals of elastic response of structures and provides quantitative methods for analysis and design of plates, beams and axial stressed members, flat sandwich structures, and thin rings and shells fabricated from plastic materials. It also reviews the tests and standards used for evaluating structural plastics fire resistance. Tables, diagrams and chapter notes and references are supplied.
