Workshop on Innovative Construction Materials. Held in Washington, DC. on October 2-3, 1989

摘要

The purpose of the workshop was to define a research program for the development of and speeding the application of innovative materials that can be used for the repair, rehabilitation, and new construction of the nation's infrastructure. An extensive survey of these materials was conducted and a steering committee selected for detailed study of three materials: advanced fiber composites, concrete matrix composites, and ceramic matrix composites. The report describes the framework for three potential research programs which would present an integrated systems research approach for the application of innovative materials in the design and construction of infrastructures.
