Armature for composite and polymeric materials domain of the invention

Abstract: The present invention consists of an assembly of materials, particularly wood-plastic composite or polymer for construction or building purposes, consisting in a matrix of these materials wherein a rod is inserted, a cable or a chord of reinforcement in a place of the tension loads, to increase the total capacity of mechanical resistance of the assembly and more particularly flexural properties. The invention thus consists of a solidified matrix using one or several rods inserted in the matrix so that the rod takes the tension stresses to increasing resistance to bending. A hardening resin may be injected in the place of a rod, or combined with it. The rods are inserted in the area undergoing the maximum of tension or at any other place in order to offer durability and an increased resistance. Various configurations of assemblies can be used, such as for example, a T, an I, a M, a H or any other form of section. (end of abstract)
