Informationen zum Autor Raul Fangueiro is an Auxiliary Professor in the Department of Textile Engineering at the University of Minho! Portugal. Klappentext The application of fibrous materials in civil engineering is an important and interesting development. Steel is one of the most popular composite materials used for structural applications! however many types of steel structures are subjected to corrosion damage. The use of fibrous structures including knitted! woven and braided fabrics are becoming recognized as an attractive reinforcement due to their fiber orientation! conformability and possibility of producing shaped reinforcements. This book reviews these fibrous materials with regards to their role in structural reinforcement. Key topics include short fiber reinforced concrete! natural fiber reinforced concrete and high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites. Zusammenfassung The use of fibrous structures including knitted! woven and braided fabrics are becoming recognised as an attractive reinforcement due to their fibre orientation! conformability and potential of producing shaped reinforcements. This book reviews these fibrous materials with regards to their role in structural reinforcement.
