About the Book

This book considers the properties and behaviour of cement-based materials from the point of view of composite science and technology. It deals particularly with newer forms of cement-based materials and also with a composite approach to conventional materials and their special properties. Emphasis is put on non-conventional reinforcement and design methods, problems at interfaces in the materials and on durability of structures made with them.

Table of Contents:
Preface. Introduction. Composites and multiphase materials. Properties and requirements. Components of composite materials. General description of composite materials; Classifications; Composites with dispersion strengthening; Grain-reinforced (particulate) composites; Fibre-reinforced composites; Laminated composites.
