Abstract
The interest in the engineering plastics has recently grown due to its two main functions: as formwork for fresh concrete and as encasement for hardened concrete. Due to the limited test data, the mechanical performance of these structures continues to be pursued through experimental methods. Within this frame, the goal of this study is to gather the new knowledge and highlight the most recent researches and advances on the applications of the engineering plastics for the innovative construction of civil structures. Such knowledge will help to provide the platform for further research in this field.
