New Report on the Physical Properties and Durability of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
This document addresses the physical properties and durability of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). The various properties addressed and the wide selection available in formulating matrix systems allow performance-based specification of concrete materials using fibers to become a viable reality. The objective of this report is to …
Increasing Shear Capacity Within Existing Reinforced Concrete Structures
What options are available to increase the shear capacity of members within existing reinforced concrete structures? This TechNote provides an overview of the variety of materials and methods available to increase shear capacity, including the use of external steel reinforcement, section enlargement, internal steel or fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement, supplemental members, FRP plates and strips, both steel and FRP near-surface-mounted reinforcement, and external prestressing. To learn more…
