Brittle matrix composites 10Edited by A M Brandt, M A Glinicki, Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Poland, J Olek, Purdue University, USA and C K Y Leung, Hong Kong University, China
The subjects of the symposia are on composite materials behaving as brittle, normal and special conditions of exploitation. Brittle matrix composites are applied in various domains and the series of symposia are closely related to their applications in civil engineering. In the last decades their importance is increasing along with their variety and the use of most advanced methods of testing. Papers include concretes, fibre concretes and ceramics, particularly their composition, microstructure and fracture processes. Various new and advanced engineering problems are presented in the papers.
