  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. 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 ...

  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. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_concrete

    Ultra-high-performance concrete is a new type of concrete that is being developed by agencies concerned with infrastructure protection. 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. Cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement

    Fiber mesh cement or fiber reinforced concrete is cement that is made up of fibrous materials like synthetic fibers, glass fibers, natural fibers, and steel fibers. This type of mesh is distributed evenly throughout the wet concrete. The purpose of fiber mesh is to reduce water loss from the concrete as well as enhance its structural integrity ...

  7. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    To give concrete the ability to resist being stretched, steel bars, which can resist high stretching (tensile) forces, are often added to concrete to form reinforced concrete. [20] Fibre-reinforced polymers include carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers and glass-reinforced plastic. If classified by matrix then there are thermoplastic composites ...

  8. Textile-reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile-reinforced_concrete

    Textile-reinforced concrete is a type of reinforced concrete in which the usual steel reinforcing bars are replaced by textile materials. Instead of using a metal cage inside the concrete, this technique uses a fabric cage inside the same.

  9. 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.
