This makes it a good material to build with. The tensile strength can be up to six times greater than that of traditional materials. These materials are also more resistant to corrosion and retardant to fire. Their long life means that they need less maintenance than traditional materials, and hold up better under stress and fatigue. Composite materials also eliminate the need for joints and fasteners as they have enough strength to be designed to exact requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[3055,11110,11111,11112,11113,8285,110,2999,3042,3062,2906,3001,11114,11115,11116],"class_list":["post-14121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-leed-news","tag-architecture","tag-chemical-industry","tag-composite-materials-can-have-a-high-strength-to-weight-ratio","tag-consumer-sports-goods","tag-dura-composites","tag-favorite-stories","tag-green-construction","tag-green-design","tag-guest-post","tag-materials","tag-news","tag-sustainable-business","tag-tensile-strength","tag-the-benefits-of-composite-material","tag-transport-sector"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14121\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
