Engineered fabrics have gained special attention from all quarters due to their adaptability for unconventional applications. Engineered fabrics are used in a range of technical products such as seatbelt fabrics, automotive textiles, geotextiles, and other industrial textiles. This book provides a comprehensive review and case studies of engineered fabrics used in civil engineering as geotextiles. Engineered fabrics cover a huge area from textiles used for deep-sea applications to reinforcing materials for lightweight composite materials used to construct various aircraft panels. This book gives an insight into soil conservation using engineered fabrics along with woven denim fabrics with dual core-spun yarns. The editor has included one introductory chapter on engineered fabrics that covers all aspects of fabric engineering required to cater for the needs of technical and industrial textiles.

The use of fibrous materials in civil engineering, both as structural reinforcement and in non-structural applications such as geotextiles, is an important and interesting development. Fibrous and composite materials for civil engineering applications analyses the types and properties of fibrous textile and structures and their applications in reinforcement and civil engineering.Part one introduces different types of fibrous textiles and structures. Chapters cover the properties of natural and man-made fibres and of yarns, as well as an overview of textile structures. Part two focuses on fibrous material use in concrete reinforcement, with chapters on the properties and applications of steel fibre reinforced concrete, natural fibre reinforced concrete and the role of fibre reinforcement in mitigating shrinkage cracks. In part three, the applications of fibrous material-based composites in civil engineering are covered. Chapters concentrate on production techniques and applications such as reinforcement of internal structures, structural health monitoring and textile materials in architectural membranes.With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Fibrous and composite materials for civil engineering applications is a standard reference for fabric and composite manufacturers, civil engineers and professionals, as well as academics with a research interest in this field. - Explores the development of fibrous materials in civil engineering, both as structural reinforcement and in non-structural applications such as geotextiles - Key topics include short fibre reinforced concrete, natural fibre reinforced concrete and high performance fibre reinforced cementitious composites - A standard reference for fabric and composite manufacturers, civil engineers and professionals, as well as academics with a research interest in this field
