Description
In recent decades, material development in response to the call for more durable infrastructures has led to many exciting advancements. This book provides an up-to-date review of several emerging infrastructure materials that may have a significant impact on repair and new construction. It focuses on the materials design concept that has led to the creation of advanced composites and the key advancements in materials science and mechanics that have made it possible. Each chapter concludes with selective examples of real world applications using such advanced materials.
This book is an invaluable reference for undergraduate and graduate students of civil engineering, materials, architecture and building engineering, and will serve as a guide for researchers and professional engineers in the construction industry.
