Structural Strengthening of Jamnagar Jetty with RELinforce™
The load-bearing capacity deteriorates in the jetties due to higher than anticipated live loads, changes to the structural condition, corrosion or defects in the...
Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete – Types and Advantages
Concrete undergoes dynamic loading and rigorous environmental conditions. The development of shrinkage cracks in plain cement concrete is a major problem. To overcome this...
Carbon Fibre Wrapping System for structural strengthening
Carbon Fibre Wrapping System is a solution for structural strengthening. Carbon fibre has very high tensile strength and is also very lightweight. When bonded...
FIBERCRETE – WF (Waved Macro Fiber) for shrinkage crack control
Fibrillated polypropylene micro fibers are usually used in concrete to control cracking due to plastic shrinkage and drying shrinkage. They also reduce the permeability...
Fiber-reinforced concrete – Advantages, types and applications
Fiber Reinforced Concrete is a composite material consisting of fibrous material which increases its structural integrity. It includes mixtures of cement, mortar or concrete...
Compressibility Properties of Fiber Reinforced Cohesive Soil
Fiber reinforcement is an established method for strengthening soil. The present work examines the influence of discrete coir and polypropylene fiber reinforcement (separately) on...
Theory and applications of Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC)
Concrete as a construction material has been popular since ancient times. Be it the Pyramids of Egypt or the Roman Pantheon, that concrete was...
Fiber Reinforced concrete for crack reduction
Competitive products based on natural fibers are being developed that show excellent technical performance and harm the environment less than current products. The concept...
The use of concrete fiber for construction
Concrete Fibers are increasingly being recognized as a favorable substitute for unsustainable inputs. Aside from technical and cost advantages, such products have the added...
Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Cohesive Soil
Polypropylene reinforcement is a common method of strengthening soil. The aim of the present study is to understand the behavior of randomly distributed discrete...
