Abstract
This chapter focuses on the properties, manufacturing processes, and quality control of pultruded advanced composites used in civil engineering applications. Pultrusion technology is first briefly explained, the main features of the raw materials used are introduced, and the philosophy underlying the development of pultruded advanced composites is discussed. A detailed description of the pultrusion process then follows, covering the equipment and procedure, technical specifications, and quality control. Subsequently, the types, properties, applications, and sustainability of pultruded profiles, reinforcing bars, and strengthening strips are described. The final part of the chapter discusses future trends for the pultrusion of advanced composites used in civil engineering applications.
