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 ...

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 ...

What is fibre-reinforced concrete and how can rail engineers benefit from its unique properties? Bernard Berge, product specialist engineer, fibre division for Maccaferri, explains. Major ...

The history of concrete dates back to ancient Rome, approximately 2,000 years ago. The so-called “Roman Concrete” is composed of limestone, volcanic ash, and seawater and it permitted the construction ...

When adding steel fibers the size of a clip, concrete is less prone to cracking, an engineer demonstrates. What the study shows is that this material has certain advantages over conventional ...
