Fiber Cement Flat Sheets: Types, Characteristics, Tests, and Advantages
Fibre cement flat sheets are made of an inorganic hydraulic binder or a calcium silicate binder fanned by the chemical reaction of a calcareous and siliceous material reinforced by organic and inorganic synthetic fibers. These sheets are used for external ...
8 Properties of Polymer Materials for Use in Construction
Mechanical and chemical properties of polymer materials are of great importance to know before use in any construction applications. Such materials are increasingly used in infrastructure construction for instance structural components, protective coating, and adhesives. Mechanical and chemical properties of ...
CFRP Laminates for Shear Strengthening of RC Beams
The use of Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beam has gain great success. Structural beams may loss shear capacity due to environmental influences or design and construction errors and hence rehabilitation of the ...
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers- Properties, and Applications
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a type of composite materials consist of carbon fiber and polymer. The carbon fiber provides the strength and stiffness while the polymer acts as cohesive matrix to protect and held the fibers together. CFRP ...
Asbestos in Cement Concrete – Properties, Uses and Benefits
Asbestos is a naturally occurring thin crystalline long fiber which when used for the preparation of concrete improves the fresh and hardened properties of concrete such as compressive and flexural strength. In the construction industry, it finds its application in heat ...
Welded Wire Fabric Concrete
Welded wire fabric is a series of parallel longitudinal wires welded to cross wires by electric fusion method with accurate spacing. The welding work is done by machinery which ensures the precise dimensions and results in considerable savings in time, ...
Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete – Advantages and Applications in Construction
A hybrid fiber reinforced concrete is a composite of two or more fibers in concrete. Types, mix proportions, advantages and applications of hybrid fiber concrete is discussed.
