ABSTRACT

Over the times as we have grown, so our engineering and exploration skill sets. Today,
we are consistently innovating, researching and developing technology in pursuit of a
sustainable future. All through these researches and evolution, engineers are in constant
search for unique and better materials which peerlessly execute the performance worth
tradeoff in the construction field. Many new raw materials have been discovered and
many groundbreaking composite have been developed, of which not all but some have
proved to be a phenomenal success. Carbon fiber is one of these materials, which is
normally used in combination with different materials to form a composite. The
properties of carbon fiber, like high tensile strength, high stiffness, low weight, high-
temperature tolerance, high chemical resistance and low thermal expansion makes them
one of the utmost popular material in civil engineering occupying strength up to five
times that of steel and one-third of its weight
