Among all building materials, concrete is the most commonly
used-and there is a staggering demand for it. However, as we strive
to build taller structures with improved seismic resistance or
durable pavement with an indefinite service life, we require
materials with better performance than the conventional materials
used today. Considering the enormous investment in public
infrastructure and society's need to sustain it, the need for new
and innovative materials for the repair and rehabilitation of civil
infrastructure becomes more evident. These improved properties may
be defined in terms of carbon footprint, life-cycle cost,
durability, corrosion resistance, strength, ductility, and
stiffness. Addressing recent trends and future directions,
Mechanics of Fiber and Textile Reinforced Cement Composites
presents new opportunities for developing innovative and
cost-effective materials and techniques in cement and concrete
composites manufacturing, testing, and design. The book offers
mathematical models, experimental results, and computational
algorithms for efficient designs with fiber and textile reinforced
composite systems. It explores alternative solutions using blended
cements, innovative reinforcing systems, natural fibers,
experimental characterization of key parameters used for design,
and optimized designs. Each chapter begins with a detailed
introduction, supplies a thorough overview of the existing
literature, and sets forth the reasoning behind the experimentation
and theory. Documenting the composite action of fibers and
textiles, the book develops and explains methods for manufacturing
and testing cement composites. Methods to design and analyze
structures for reduced weight, increased durability, and
minimization of cement use are also examined. The book demonstrates
that using a higher volume fraction of fiber systems can result in
composites that are quasi-elastic plastic. Speaking to the need to
