Bamboo reinforcement, including bamboo wrapped in steel wires has been proposed as reinforcement for traditional concrete elements as early as 2005, [26] with recent studies suggesting possible applications in 3D-printed concrete. This technique has the advantage of producing potentially 50 times less carbon emissions than traditional steel ...
A reinforced concrete column is a structural member designed to carry compressive loads, composed of concrete with an embedded steel frame to provide reinforcement. For design purposes, the columns are separated into two categories: short columns and slender columns.
Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1] Reinforced concrete is the most common form of concrete. The reinforcement is often steel rebar (mesh, spiral, bars and other forms). Structural fibers of various materials are ...
Improve concrete strength at low cost. Adds tensile reinforcement in all directions, unlike rebar. Add a decorative look as they are visible in the finished concrete surface. Polypropylene [18] and nylon fibers can: Improve mix cohesion, improving pumpability over long distances; Improve freeze-thaw resistance
Reinforced concrete, also called ferroconcrete, is a composite material in which concrete's relatively low tensile strength and ductility are compensated for by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility.
A print head that is set too high will reduce the bond strength between layers, causing an unstable shape. [8] A nozzle too close to the printing surface may interfere with the printing process and place additional loads on the concrete. Research proposes a print height equal to the width of the nozzle.

Typically concrete slabs perform better than implied by their R-value. [5] The R-value does not consider thermal mass, since it is tested under constant temperature conditions. Thus, when a concrete slab is subjected to fluctuating temperatures, it will respond more slowly to these changes and in many cases increase the efficiency of a building ...
This means a nano composite polymer coating must be applied to increase the longevity of the construction. AR glass has this problem, as well, but the positives of using AR glass in TRC structure, including its adhesion to concrete and low cost, outweigh these issues. [13] Textile-reinforced concrete is described as a strain-hardening composite.
