Fibrous and Composite Materials for Civil Engineering Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Textiles) - Hardcover
Book 72 of 259: Textile Institute
Synopsis
The use of fibrous materials in civil engineering, both as structural reinforcement and in non-structural applications such as geotextiles, is an important development. Fibrous and composite materials for civil engineering applications analyses types and properties of textiles and their use in knitted, woven and fabric structures as well as their applications in such areas as the reinforcement of concrete and as insulation materials.
Key Features: explores the development of fibrous materials in civil engineering, both as structural reinforcement and in non-structural applications such as geotextiles; key topics include short fibre reinforced concrete, natural fibre reinforced concrete and high performance fibre reinforced cementitious composites; a standard reference for fabric and composite manufacturers, civil engineers and professionals, as well as academics with a research interest in this field.
Contents: Part 1 Types of fibrous textiles and structures: Natural and man-made fibres: Physical properties; Yarns: Production, processability and properties; Textile structures. Part 2 Fibrous materials as a concrete reinforcement material: Steel fibre reinforced concrete: Material properties and structural applications; Natural fibre reinforced concrete; The role of fibre reinforcement in mitigating shrinkage cracks in concrete. Part 3 Fibrous materials based composites for civil engineering applications: Fibrous materials reinforced composites production techniques; Fibrous materials reinforced composite for internal reinforcement of concrete structures; Fibrous materials reinforced composites for structural health monitoring; Fibrous insulation materials in building engineering applications; Acoustic behaviour of fibrous materials; The use of textile materials for architectural membranes.
