What is a Fiber ?
Small piece of reinforcing material
possessing certain characteristic
properties.
Can be circular or flat.
Parameter used to describe fiber
Aspect ratio .
Aspect ratio is ratio of its length to its
diameter.
Typical aspect ratio for fibers ranges from
30 to 150.
Concrete (FRC)?
Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is concrete
containing fibrous material which increases its
structural integrity.
It contains short discrete fibers that are uniformly
distributed and ....etc

natural fiber reinforced concrete

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world and steel reinforcement is always required to meet tensile strength and ductility demands of concrete structures. The production of concrete and reinforced concrete structures creates lots of environmental issues associated with the significant release of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. In addition, the corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the major challenges that current civil engineers are facing. In the United States, the upgrading o ....etc

GLASS FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE

ABSTRACT:-
Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete or GRC is one of the most versatile building materials available to architects and engineers. Composed principally of cement, sand and special alkali resistant (AR) glassfibres, GRC is a thin, high strength concrete with many applications in construction.
The GRC-Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete, which was first invented by 'pilkington' in UK and developed successfully by rest of the continent, is a product having unique combination of properties unch ....etc

ABSTRACT
Road transportation is undoubtedly the lifeline of the nation and its development is a crucial concern. The traditional bituminous pavements and their needs for continuous maintenance and rehabilitation operations points towards the scope for cement concrete pavements. There are several advantages of cement concrete pavements over bituminous pavements. This paper explains on POLYMER FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENTS, which is a recent advancement in the field of reinforced concrete pavement design. PFRC pa ....etc

Concrete in the 22nd Century


Is it Useful to Attempt Prediction?

An accurate prediction of the situation 100yrs from now may seem unlikely

But some of my concepts from the early 1950s are only now beginning to spread widely

Can We Influence the Future?

Can we afford such delay?

Why does it happen?

Some things introduced 100 years from now may already be available, but struggling for acceptance

What will concrete be like?

There is a ....etc

I m Surya doing my final year in civil engineering. I have chosen to work on fiber reinforced Geo polymer concrete for my final year BE project. I would like to know the tests to be performed to assess the properties , instruments required and feasibility of the project. I'd be much obliged if someone could help me.
