Construction
In the building sector there is ever more frequent use of composite materials. Among the most relevant benefits can be mentioned:
- Light weight — buildings made of composites are particularly lightweight and allow for a substantial reduction of foundation elements.
- Fire resistance — carbon fibers can be impregnated with fire-resistant resins.
- Longevity — composite materials, particularly those reinforced with carbon fiber, have greater resistance to fatigue than any metal.
- No maintenance — composite structural components have neither ordinary nor extraordinary maintenance needs.
- Easy assembly — construction is faster, with greatly reduced building site costs and risks compared to normal operations.
