2. High-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_fiber...

   The ECC patch was used as a replacement to the previously existent expansion joint that linked two deck slabs. Expansion joints, commonly used in bridges to allow for the seasonal expansion and contraction of the concrete decks, are an example of a ubiquitous construction practice that could eventually be eliminated through the use of bendable ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_construction

   A composite steel deck combines the tensile strength of steel with the compressive strength of concrete to improve design efficiency and reduce the material necessary to cover a given area. Additionally, composite steel decks supported by composite steel joists can span greater distances between supporting elements and have reduced live load ...

   Concrete roofing is composed of concrete reinforced with fibers of some sort. Structural concrete can also be used for flat roof constructions. There are three main categories, precast/prestressed, cast-in-place and shell. There are many types of precast/prestressed concrete roofing. The following are the most common types. [8]

5. Fiber cement siding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_cement_siding

   Fiber cement is a composite material made of cement reinforced with cellulose fibers. Originally, asbestos was used as the reinforcing material but, due to safety concerns, that was replaced by cellulose in the 1980s. [1] Fiber cement board may come pre-painted or pre-stained or can be done so after its installation. [2]

6. Fiber-reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

   To ensure that each fiber strand is effective, it is recommended to use fibers longer than the maximum aggregate size. Normal concrete contains 19 mm (0.75 in) equivalent diameter aggregate which is 35-45% of concrete, fibers longer than 20 mm (0.79 in) are more effective.

7. Deck (building) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck_(building)

   A deck is also the surface used to construct a boardwalk over sand on barrier islands. Laying deck or throwing deck refers to the act of placing and bolting down cold-formed steel beneath roofing and concrete floors. This is usually done by an ironworker, sometimes in conjunction with a cement mason or carpenter. It regarded as one of the most ...
