Bio-Aggregate-Based Building Materials: Applications to Hemp Concretes

To ensure its structural integrity, concrete is typically reinforced with different types of fibrous materials. Focusing on particles and fibers produced from the hemp plant, this book presents an overview of the current knowledge on construction materials made from plant particles and the different factors influencing the character of fiber-reinforced concrete. The book clearly explains building materials containing raw materials, with special emphasis on renewable, recyclable, and easily available plant particles. An invaluable guide for engineers and materials scientists working on construction materials.
