2. Fiber cement siding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_cement_siding

   Blue fiber cement siding HardiePanel on design-build addition, Ithaca NY. Fiber cement siding (also known as "fibre cement cladding" in the United Kingdom, "fibro" in Australia, and by the proprietary name "Hardie Plank" in the United States) is a building material used to cover the exterior of a building in both commercial and domestic applications.

3. Fibre cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_cement

   The term cement originates from the Latin word caementum, which refers to chopped stone. Cement describes a substance which will react chemically with water and develop into a material as hard as stone. In fibre cement there is a fibre reinforcement, which contributes to making the fibre-cement material even stronger.

4. 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.

5. High-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites

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

   This occurrence is hindered by the presence of fiber bridging, a property that most HPFRCCs are specifically designed to possess. Fiber bridging is the act of several fibers exerting a force across the width of a crack in an attempt to prevent the crack from developing further. This capability is what gives bendable concrete its ductile properties.

6. Fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix - Wikipedia

   Plant fibers are a promising area but they are subjected to degradation in the alkaline environment and elevated temperatures during cement hydration. [3] [4] In international literature, FRCMs are also called textile-reinforced concrete (TRC), textile reinforced mortars (TRM), fabric-reinforced mortar (FRM), or inorganic matrix-grid composites ...

   UHPC is characterized by being a steel fibre-reinforced cement composite material with compressive strengths in excess of 150 MPa, up to and possibly exceeding 250 MPa. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] UHPC is also characterized by its constituent material make-up: typically fine-grained sand, fumed silica , small steel fibers, and special blends of high ...
