Abstract


In this paper; the authors analyse composite materials from the point of view of their applications in the building construction field. An overview through the different distinctive aspects of composites is presented: concepts, types and characteristics of their components. Following, and from a practical point of view, advantages and disadvantages of the application of composites in construction are analysed. The article includes also a number of cases, real applications of these composite materials in the construction industry.
