Macro-fiber reinforcement can be used as a cost-effective, sustainable solution for buildings constructed with insulated concrete form (ICF) wall systems, which have historically been reinforced ...

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 ... a few of which we discuss/demonstrate in this video, including fiber reinforced concrete, adequate protective cover, and fiber reinforced ...
