Composites in Infrastructure
Composite materials are widely preferred material for infrastructural development as they provide many advantages such as high strength, lightweight, resistance to water, high durability and resistance to corrosion an electricity. In addition, these materials can be engineered and thus prove cost effective in many applications. Glass fiber and Carbon fiber have been extensively used in industries first structural and construction applications. They are environment friendly and thus people are looking forward to them as an alternative to synthetic fiber.
Ageing infrastructure is a global problem bridges waterfront another structures need timely rehabilitation and replacement. Composites offer an advantage, as they are corrosion resistance and durable, which makes it low maintenance and long service for life. They have many advantages over traditional materials. Composites are widely being used to rehabilitate roads bridges water drainage systems for increasing their lives the application of composites in infrastructure is very wide from building to bridges from roads to canals the use of composites is wide
