Figure 1. Mud Creek Bridge, U.S. Highway 52 in Rush County, Indiana, features the repair of connections between existing prefabricated elements using ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC) reinforced ...

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 ...

“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 ...

Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) has a long history of use in building facades, and was originally developed for its superior performance in seismic zones. The decorative concrete industry ...

The carbon fiber is woven into a mesh, or as a composite material that mimics existing rebar structures. These two types of reinforcement can be combined in a composite to produce a concrete ...

During past two decades, much research has been carried out on shear and flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams using different types of fibre reinforced polymers and adhesives.

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 ...

Utilizing vegetable fibers in cement composites has huge benefits in construction, improving mechanical strength and ...

Unlike traditional concrete that often requires additional fibers or plastics for strength, this new variant relies solely on its geometric design. This simple new method not only makes the ...
