Fiber-reinforced concrete overlays are an incredibly effective means of extending the service life of a floor while maintaining operational continuity.

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 ...

In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, construction materials such as steel—a necessary material for use in traditional concrete applications—have been significantly impacted by price increases ...

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 ...

Concrete is a foundational material in construction, but it can encounter a costly problem: cracking. Engineers have been looking for ways to make stronger, more durable concrete, and researchers in ...

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 ...

University of British Columbia (UBC) engineers in Vancouver have developed a type of concrete designed to be more resilient using recycled tires that could be used for structures like buildings, roads ...

Valley representatives can experience a new landmark in public transportation with the expansion of the light rail as its construction features fiber-reinforced concrete for the first time in the ...

Reinforcing concrete with steel bars is a very common practice in construction. The industrial engineer and researcher Aimar Orbe-Mateo (UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country) has studied the ...
