The detailed characteristics of the composition of the cement matrix and the role of fibres in the formation of the composite properties are described. Various applications of the composites as structural and architectural materials are also given.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.14.194.3282}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/new-generation-cementitious-composites-with-fibres-properties-and-application} }
