Features: This book is one of the volumes in the "Concrete Technology Series." It categorizes fiber-reinforced cementitious composites into two major types: fiber-reinforced cement and fiber-reinforced concrete, based on the composition of the cement matrix, the role of fibers, preparation processes, and the properties of the composites. Building upon a concise explanation of the definitions, development history, enhancement mechanisms, and mechanical property characteristics of these two types of composites, the book provides detailed introductions to the raw materials, mix proportions, preparation processes, mechanical properties, durability, and application fields and examples of major varieties in each category. It includes several newly developed materials and technologies in recent years both domestically and internationally. The book is rich in information and highly practical, offering significant reference value for engineering technicians and workers engaged in the design, research, production, construction, and application of fiber-reinforced cement and fiber-reinforced concrete in China. It can also serve as a reference text for relevant majors in universities and vocational and technical schools.
