The Role of Advance Composite material In Contemporary Buildings 3rd Edition by Candidate Obasanjo Owoyale Adeola,Candidate Mohammed Tauheed Alfa

Composite  materials  have  been  used  from  the  earliest  times,  from wood, which  is  a  naturally occurring composite  of  lignin  and  cellulose, through straw reinforced clay bricks to reinforced concrete.  In the 20th century,  a  new  breed  of  composite  materials  was  developed  using polymer  matrices  with  high  performance  reinforcement  fibres.  The great  effect  and  uncompromising  properties  of  advance  composite materials  has  enabled  the  emergence  of  composites  cut  across  all fields  of  application  and  all  areas  or  work,  just  to  mention  a  few aeronautic  engineering,  automobile  engineering,  and  medicine, military and building construction. Therefore, with emphasis on building construction,  advance  composite  material  has  played  a  vital  role  in today’s  contemporary  building construction  method,  by presenting  its self as an alternative building construction material, its application has made the contemporary building construction much more flexible and achievable, compare to traditional  building  materials and  its  methods of  construction.  It  further  offers  the  building  construction  industry  the technical know-how  of  having  new  possibilities of design styles, shapes and forms. Therefore, advance composite material proves it’s self to be a  better  and  a  new  alternative  building  construction  material  that remains  construction friendly  and flexible  based  on  its  properties.  This study  therefore  tends to  provide  an overview  on advance  composite material,  its  application  as  well  as  its  role  in  today’s  contemporary building.
