To the homeowner, the evaluation of steel versus small randomly dispersed fibers in a concrete mix did not equate. It is true enough that the concern is warranted and this is largely due to the ...

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.

including fiber type (steel and polypropylene), content (0.5 % and 1.0 %), and length (38 mm and 50 mm). Two FRC mix designs were compared: PPM-designed and American Concrete Institute (ACI ...

A recent study published in Engineering introduces a new approach to evaluating the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) ...

“I’m recognized for uncovering the complex interactions between the carbon fiber and the concrete and steel materials as they work together,” Ghannoum said. “My sponsor, TxDOT, is aware of the award ...
