A look at how emerging technologies for FRP concrete provide alternatives to traditionally used steel and glass fibers.
Fiber-reinforced concrete is also a cost-effective ... When casting samples for testing, no internal vibration within the molds can be used. Synthetic fibers may delay bleed water at the surface ...
Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) has a long history of ... With a bristle brush, brush the face coat in the mold to push out any air pockets, particularly in the corners and edges of the ...
Researchers from Hohai University, Northwestern University, and Politecnico di Milano have introduced a pioneering mesoscale mechanical discrete model, LDPM-MicroF, to simulate the fracture behavior ...
MIT researchers 3D print formwork molds using mud - replacing the more costly wood formworks for concrete construction.
