Overview
Glassfibre reinforced concrete is already firmly established as the high-tech material of choice for architects and designers. It is the most complex material widely used in current construction practice. It is an unusual composite, in which both the matrix and the reinforcement themselves are composites. This book provides guidance on the properties, specification, testing and methods used for efficient production of glassfibre reinforced concrete.
