Concrete is a mixture of cement, an aggregate such as gravel, and water. For added strength, steel fibers are sometimes added. Now, scientists are claiming that a new type of fiber-reinforced concrete ...

According to the American Concrete Institute CT-18, fiber-reinforced concrete is a concrete mixture that is reinforced with dispersed, randomly orientated fibers. These fibers can be used in lieu of ...

As the demand for more sustainable construction grows and raw material shortages like steel continue to be a challenge, fiber-reinforced concrete has become an increasingly popular choice for flatwork ...

Engineers have uncovered the material combinations that help concrete resist cracking, corrosion, and structural fatigue. Study: Tensile characterization of high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete: ...

Concrete‐fiber reinforced polymer composite structures represent a significant advancement in civil engineering, merging the compressive resilience of concrete with the tensile reinforcement of ...

Conductive high-strength concrete shows promise for data centers and smart buildings, combining mechanical strength with effective electromagnetic shielding.

Researchers enhance concrete durability by integrating nano-silica and sisal fibers, improving strength and crack resistance ...

Peak 10’s 60,166-square-foot purpose-built, multistory data center facility in North Tampa, Fla., U.S., was fabricated using Metromont’s C-GRID-reinforced insulated precast concrete panels for high ...

A new study demonstrates that the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete columns is very similar to that of the conventional steel counterpart. Thus, for structures that function in ...
