Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials in Architecture

Abstract:

Composite materials are made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties. The materials work together to give the composite more excellent properties than its components.Fiber reinforced composite materials constitute a widely used group of the composites. There are many researches about fiber reinforced composites. This study focused on fiber reinforced composite materials used in architecture unlike other researches. It was aimed to specify the benefits of the fiber composite materials for architecture and discussed several recent developments related to these materials. A literature review was made by grouping composites materials. The study reported that more research is needed for fiber reinforced composites to improve their technical performance, environmental and economic properties.
