Advances in Fiber Reinforced Concrete

by Antoine E. Naaman, Univ of Michigan, Dep of Civil, Engineering, Ann Arbor, MI, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Structural Design, Cementitious Products, and Case Histories

Abstract:

The idea of using strong discontinuous fibers as reinforcement for concrete seems to have been both a seduction and a challenge to many civil engineers. Adding the reinforcement to the mixer in the form of fibers, simply like adding aggregates or admixtures, to create a homogeneous, isotropic, moldable structural material is a dream that has started more than a century ago, is still in the making today, and is not far from being attained.
