Features: This book is a part of 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. On the basis of briefly explaining the definitions, development history, enhancement mechanisms, and mechanical property characteristics of the two types of composites, the book provides a detailed introduction to the raw materials, mix proportions, preparation processes, mechanical properties, durability, and application fields and examples of the main varieties in each category. It includes several new varieties and technologies developed domestically and internationally in recent years. The book is rich in information and highly practical, making it a valuable reference for a broad range of engineering technicians and workers engaged in the design, research, production, construction, and use 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.
