Concrete is a mix of cement, an aggregate such as gravel, and water. For added strength, steel fibers are often added. Now, scientists are claiming that a new type of fiber-reinforced concrete could ...

One potential cost-effective way to sustain ageing concrete subjected to harsh environmental conditions is to externally coat the material with fiber reinforced polymer composites. But few studies ...

Concrete‐fiber reinforced polymer composite structures represent a significant advancement in civil engineering, merging the compressive resilience of concrete with the tensile reinforcement of ...

Low vacuum environment engineering has received considerable attention due to its vast applications in fields such as ultra-high-speed transportation, aerospace technology, and cutting-edge physics ...

A new study demonstrates that the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete columns is very similar to that of the conventional steel counterpart. Thus, for structures that function in ...

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) announces the winners of its 2017 Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Polymer Composites Competition. The competition took place at The Concrete Convention and Exposition ...

DUO is a three-in-one lightweight fiber reinforced polymer formwork system that can be used to form walls, slabs and columns PERI Formwork Systems, Inc. DUO is a three-in-one lightweight fiber ...

While many of us might think that concrete structures such as bridges simply stand unaided for decades at a time, the fact is that they require maintenance as often as once every five years. An ...
