Dosed correctly, macrofibers eliminate rebar in ICF walls for significant time and cost savings. To improve the workability of fiber-reinforced concrete, the ACI 544.3 standard offers ...

One such alternative is the utilization of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars as a reinforcement in reinforced concrete members. FRP bars possess favorable characteristics like high tensile strength, ...

On May 2, the ASTM announced that its composite materials committee (D30) had developed a “new standard specification for the latest generation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)” rebar.

a team at TU Dresden in Germany have completed what is believed to be the world’s first building made with carbon-reinforced concrete, in which the steel rebar is replaced with carbon fiber.

While steel reinforcement solves one of concrete’s greatest limitations, it creates an entirely new problem: Corrosion of embedded steel rebar is ... including fiber reinforced concrete ...

Concrete-Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite structures are gaining attention in the construction industry due to their enhanced mechanical properties and durability. These composite ...
