Opis

The leading international authorities bring together in this contributed volume the latest research and current thinking on advanced fiber reinforced cement composites. Under rigorous editorial control, 13 chapters map out the key properties and behaviour of these materials, which promise to extend their applications into many more areas in the coming years.

Recenzje

'The volume includes very valuable contributions that may be of interest not only for professors, researchers and Ph.D students but also for practitioners who intend to learn the behaviour and applicability of high performance fibre reinforced cement composites' - Cement and Concrete Research

'The published papers give an overview of the leading edge of this field and provide a reference base to build on.' - The Structural Engineer
