1984 Polymer Grid Reinforcement – Proceedings
The original Polymer Grid Reinforcement symposium, sponsored by the Science and Engineering Research Council and Netlon Ltd (now Tensar International Ltd) was held in London on 22nd – 23rd March 1984.The aim of the 1984 symposium was to discuss the results and present examples of applications worldwide, looking at the development of the properties of polymers to allow them to be used as load bearing structural materials.
