A look at how emerging technologies for FRP concrete provide alternatives to traditionally used steel and glass fibers.
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.
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 ...
A newly developed machine learning model makes reliable strength predictions in carbon fiber-reinforced steel columns, ...
Researchers from Hohai University, Northwestern University, and Politecnico di Milano have introduced a pioneering mesoscale mechanical discrete model, LDPM-MicroF, to simulate the fracture behavior ...
Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Laminates ... Experimental and Analytical Investigation on the Structural Behavior of Steel Plate and CFRP laminate ...
“We are looking forward to seeing more projects like SoFi Stadium constructed with Euclid fibers in the future.” With the ability to reinforce concrete without the weight of steel ...
Concrete production is a major source ... The researchers proposed techniques to overcome this issue, including fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)/steel confinement, steel fiber addition, and ...
