The steel skeletons in our reinforced concrete buildings share a fatal flaw: corrosion. As water seeps in through microcracks in the concrete, the hidden metal swells, gradually eating bridges and ...
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 ...
For Construction Pros: Guide to Fiber-Reinforced Concrete: Tips for Design, Specification & Application
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 ...

Sustainable and High-Performance Cementitious Composites Reinforced with Advanced Composite Materials: Behavior, Design, and Application
Concrete is a very durable material. Fine examples of its first structural use by the Romans are still standing, and concrete is now probably the most widely used building material in the world.
Discarded plastic bottles could one day be used to build stronger, more flexible concrete structures, from sidewalks and street barriers, to buildings and bridges, according to a new study. MIT ...
