In response to the call for more durable infrastructures,
material development has made many exciting advancements in
recent decades. The editor and contributors provide a
comprehensive review of several emerging infrastructure materials
that may have a significant impact on repair and new
construction. The book's two themes are the materials design
concept which has led to the creation of advanced composites and
the key advancements in materials science and mechanics that have
made that creation possible. Each chapter concludes with
selective examples of real world applications using such advanced
materials.
