Composites for Construction Applications

Different Types of Composites in Construction and their Uses

Composites for Construction Applications

New advances and modern technology always allow us to do this

To find new ways to use new features and technologies.

The construction of a building is not far from this fact

And it will always come to your mind with changes in social and economic status or environmental and weather changes

To make the most of the new sciences in the field.

Composites are one of the sources that can be a good alternative to iron and wood in the construction industry.

Today, we see various applications of aluminum composite in construction in various construction sectors.

And building composites are the most widely used composite materials.

In general, one of the most important reasons for using aluminum composite is its role in the beauty of architecture and its use as a building facade.

But another reason is that the use of this product has received a lot of attention due to the growing trend in the price of construction materials and the fact that in the economic estimate, composite aluminum sheet costs much less for the building.

Application of aluminum composite sheets in buildings

Aluminum composite sheet is used in roofing, roofing, false ceilings, doors and windows, decor and partitions of interior structures, exterior facades of various cabins of cars and trains, etc.

But in more detail, the most important use of aluminum composite sheet is aluminum composite.

It has high ductility and easy processing and remains flat and cold.

In addition, the most important feature of aluminum composite is its fire resistance.

In addition, composite materials perform better against earthquake vibrations than other materials.

And they are the best option for earthquake resistance.

Advantages of composite aluminum sheet

Lightness is the first advantage of composite aluminum sheets.

And it greatly reduces building costs.

And it is very important in dealing with earthquakes, and it can be said that it is 50 times lighter than brick and cement.

Composite aluminum sheet has high strength despite lightness

And it absorbs all kinds of pressures and shocks and resists them.

One of the characteristics of aluminum composite sheets is corrosion and moisture resistance

Which has significantly reduced maintenance costs

Also, composites are very resistant to open environments, chemical applications and other environmental and temperature conditions.

One of the positive features of Aluminum Composite Sheet is its high and varied design and flexibility in various directions.

They are molded with low cost and facilities, and give designers great freedom of action to create complex shapes.

The place of application of aluminum composite in the world and Iran

According to statistics, the consumption of composite aluminum sheets in developed countries in the construction industry accounts for about 38% of the global market for these products.

Therefore, ignoring the composite aluminum sheet in cases where it can compensate for the inefficiency of traditional products and methods,

It means the loss of a new technology in the construction industry, which is rapidly increasing in the world.

In Japan, for example, due to the country’s seismicity, composite is widely used

It is widely used in the construction of stairs, beams, garages and parking lots

Also in European countries such as France and Germany, composite materials are used that are made of portable cranes.

In Iran, the highest percentage of composite use is in the same facade of the building and its resistance capabilities are still unknown.

However, it should be noted that the mere use of this material in the facade of the interior of the building can not indicate the growth of the use of this product in construction, and in this regard, activities should be done to use the composite in more practical ways.
