Renata Kotynia's book fills a gap in the Polish publishing market, providing the expected knowledge about strengthening concrete structures with polymer composites with various types of fibers. It describes the properties of composite materials for external reinforcements and provides calculation examples for their design. This publication combines the Author's indisputable competence with a practical approach, which makes it extremely valuable for every engineer.

In the book you will find a theoretical synthesis of the basics of the properties of polymer composites and the design of reinforcements, as well as key issues such as a detailed discussion of the effective connection length and analytical methods (simplified and accurate) for the Ultimate Limit State and Serviceability Limit State of CFRP strips. Practice comes first here, which is confirmed by numerous, detailed calculation examples regarding two key reinforcement systems: externally bonded reinforcement and near-surface mounted reinforcement.

Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN presents this publication in 250x176 mm format, paperback, with 192 pages. The year of publication is 2025, which guarantees the topicality of the presented knowledge. This book is essential for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge in the field of concrete structure strengthening and use the latest technologies in engineering practice.
