This episode of CW Trending, sponsored by Composites One, takes a look at the opportunities for expanded use of composites in infrastructure applications.

 The Century Project, a 42-story luxury condominium tower in Los Angeles, Calif. , designed by Robert A. M.

Mechanically fastened, two-piece composite deck system addresses challenges inherent in previous fiber-reinforced polymer deck designs, lowering cost, speeding installation and reducing maintenance.

The New York-based startup recently partnered with a wind blade recycling company and plans to produce its first full-scale prototypes this year.

Understanding the complexity of composites manufacturing resides in studying the design challenges inherent to fabrication, as much as the physics aspect. To serve this effort, CW introduces a new column, “Predicting Failure.”

When electronics giant Texas Instruments Inc. (TI, Dallas, Texas) spec'd the 200,000 ft2 (18,850m2) multistory cleanroom for its new semiconductor manufacturing facility, it needed to accommodate not only strict indoor air quality requirements but heavy structural loads as well. The cleanroom was designated as the

Consultant Joe Fox talks about the massive potential for composites use in infrastructure applications and what it will take to turn that potential into reality.

As we celebrate National Composites Week, here are just a few of the many ways the composites industry is working toward a sustainable world.
