To improve the workability of fiber-reinforced concrete, the ACI 544.3 standard offers recommendations and guidance to potentially modify the mix design.
As the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic remain in 2022, fiber-reinforced concrete continues to be a financially wise and a viable health and safety solution for concrete applications.
In fact, Hajiesmaeili claims that the manufacturing of his ultra high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) releases 60 to 70 percent less CO2 than that of regular steel-fiber equivalents.
Using a similar fabrication method, the GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) consists of a mortar made of concrete, sand, alkali-resistant glass fiber and water. Plasticity is one of the main ...
Approach combines FEA with advanced manufacturing processes to create mineral composites that are 3X stronger than steel ...
The design, refined by Munich-based architecture firm HENN, showcases the lightweight and formability of carbon fiber-reinforced concrete via its “twist” element and, as reported by John Caulfield in ...
