2. Fiber-reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-reinforced_concrete

   Fiber reinforced concrete has all but completely replaced bar in underground construction industry such as tunnel segments where almost all tunnel linings are fiber reinforced in lieu of using rebar. This may, in part, be due to issues relating to oxidation or corrosion of steel reinforcements.

3. Voided biaxial slab - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voided_biaxial_slab

   This framework has been implemented in various ways, but the most efficient method uses a steel mesh in order to reduce material use and create an optimal geometric proportion between concrete, reinforcement, and voids. [2] The voids are positioned in the middle of the cross section, where concrete is least beneficial to the structure.

4. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

   Fiber reinforcement is mainly used in shotcrete, but can also be used in normal concrete. Fiber-reinforced normal concrete is mostly used for on-ground floors and pavements, but can also be considered for a wide range of construction parts (beams, pillars, foundations, etc.), either alone or with hand-tied rebars.

5. High-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_fiber...

   This stretching or ‘straining’ action actually strengthens the material. This phenomenon is made possible through the development of multiple microscopic cracks, opposed to the single crack/strain softening behavior exhibited by typical fiber-reinforced concretes. It occurs in HPFRCCs as several fibers slip past one another.

6. Steel fibre-reinforced shotcrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_fibre-reinforced...

   The primary advantages of fibre-reinforced shotcrete are: Addition of steel fibers into the concrete improves the crack resistance (or ductility) capacity of the concrete. Traditional rebars are generally used to improve the tensile strength of the concrete in a particular direction, whereas steel fibers are useful for multidirectional ...

7. Glass fiber reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Glass_fiber_reinforced_concrete

   Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) is a type of fiber-reinforced concrete. The product is also known as glassfibre reinforced concrete or GRC in British English. [1] Glass fiber concretes are mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as architectural precast concrete. Somewhat similar materials are fiber cement siding and cement ...

8. Engineered cementitious composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_cementitious...

   ECC, unlike common fiber reinforced concrete, is a family of micromechanically designed materials. [2] [3] As long as a cementitious material is designed/developed based on micromechanics and fracture mechanics theory to feature large tensile ductility, it can be called an ECC. Therefore, ECC is not a fixed material design, but a broad range of ...

9. Reinforcement (composite) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement_(composite)

   The most common particle reinforced composite is concrete, which is a mixture of gravel and sand usually strengthened by addition of small rocks or sand. Metals are often reinforced with ceramics to increase strength at the cost of ductility. Finally polymers and rubber are often reinforced with carbon black, commonly used in auto tires. [7]
