Abstract
Thermosets, or cross-linked plastics, and their fiber-reinforced composites have been progressively replacing, either entirely or partially, traditional construction materials. Among the major reasons for this gradual shift away from traditional material usage are property advantages such as low density; low maintenance and life-cycle cost; excellent thermal, sound, and electric insulation; and reduced degradation and oxidation, as well as potentially long service life. The main applications of thermosets and thermoset matrix composites in building and construction include adhesives and sealants, thermal insulation, roofing, flooring, piping, bridge structures, cementing, and repair and rehabilitation of civil structures, and these are addressed in detail in this chapter.
