Abstract (EN): This chapter presents the main processing techniques used with organic matrices fibrous materials reinforced composites, for civil engineering applications. After a brief introduction, followed by the characterization of the main matrices, thermosets and thermoplastics, used in these composites, the different techniques applied in various civil engineering applications are presented and discussed: pultrusion, braiding, RTM, filament winding, hot plate press and, finally, hand layup.
