Textile Fibre Composites in Civil Engineering provides a
state-of-the-art review from leading experts on recent
developments, the use of textile fiber composites in civil
engineering, and a focus on both new and existing structures.
Textile-based composites are new materials for civil engineers.
Recent developments have demonstrated their potential in the
prefabrication of concrete structures and as a tool for both
strengthening and seismic retrofitting of existing concrete and
masonry structures, including those of a historical value. The book
reviews materials, production technologies, fundamental properties,
testing, design aspects, applications, and directions for future
research and developments. Following the opening introductory
chapter, Part One covers materials, production technologies, and
the manufacturing of textile fiber composites for structural and
civil engineering. Part Two moves on to review testing, mechanical
behavior, and durability aspects of textile fiber composites used
in structural and civil engineering. Chapters here cover topics
such as the durability of structural elements and bond aspects in
textile fiber composites. Part Three analyzes the structural
behavior and design of textile reinforced concrete. This section
includes a number of case studies providing thorough coverage of
the topic. The final section of the volume details the
strengthening and seismic retrofitting of existing structures.
Chapters investigate concrete and masonry structures, in addition
to providing information and insights on future directions in the
field. The book is a key volume for researchers, academics,
practitioners, and students working in civil and structural
engineering and those working with advanced construction materials.
