This book covers the fundamental scientific principles on fibres that have been modified to be compatible with cementitious matrices. It also provides information and a description of the properties of specific systems prepared
with different types of fibres such as steel, glass, asbestos, polypropylene, natural fibres and various types of high performance polymeric fibres. The book includes an up to date reference list and extensive sets of tables describing the
engineering properties of the different systems and micrographs.
