High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites
Edited by H.W. Reinhardt and A.E. Naaman
Advanced composites and the fundamental understanding of their behaviour is a rapidly expanding
area of civil engineering. These materials can be designed to have outstanding combinations of
strength (five-to ten-times that of conventional concrete) and energy absorption capacity (up to
1000-times that of plain concrete). Exciting engineering applications are therefore being developed
to take advantage of these properties for blast resistant, earthquake resistant and offshore
structures, and also for building components such as cladding, pipes, tile s and roofing.
This book provides a compendium of the most recent research advances and reviews presented
at an international workshop held under the auspices of RILEM and the American Concrete
Institute in Mainz, Germany in June 1991. It includes over 40 contributions from the leading
international specialists and researchers from USA, Europe, Japan and elsewhere and is an
essential reference for engineers and researchers who need to be at the forefront of developments
in cement composites.
Among the materials discussed are composites containing steel, polypropylene, polyacryonitrile,
carbon, glass and cellulose fibres. SIFCON is extensively covered. The other main topics
considered are: technologies of production; composite optimization; mechanical fractur e and
interface properties; modelling; structural applications and implications.

Vegetable Plants and their Fibres as Building Materials
Edited by H.S. Sobral
In many parts of the world the use of vegetable plants and their fibres as building materials i s vital
for low-cost housing and other construction, for reinforcing cement-based and concrete products,
for soil stabilization and many other applications. However, great technical ingenuity i s needed to
develop appropriate fabrication techniques and to overcome some of the inherent problems of the
materials, such as their poor durability.
This volume brings together a wealth of information and experience on successful applications of
plants and fibres. It forms the Proceedings of the Second International RILEM Symposium on
Vegetable Plants and their Fibres as Building Materials held in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil in
September 1990. It will be of value to those involved in research and use of indigenous fibre
materials and to architects, consultants, government departments and development agencies
responsible for building programmes throughout the developing world. The objectives of th e
Symposium were:
* To examine the state-of-the-art in the field of vegetable plants and their fibres a s building
materials, emphasizing their use, properties, fabrication, new procedures and future
developments.
* To make available research results on new techniques for fibre reinforcement and their use
in concrete, stabilized clay and other matrices.
* To analyse procedures to make vegetable fibres and wood the usual building materials in
developing countries.
