SUSTAINABLE FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE FOR REPAIR APPLICATIONS


Abstract eng:
Civil infrastructure around the world is in a state of utter disrepair and significant efforts are needed on the part of all stakeholders to render our failing infrastructure back to a serviceable and safe state. At the root of the problem is the apparent lack of durability in our repair materials, inability on part of the owners to provide timely maintenance, absence of advanced condition assessment tools and lack of long-lasting, cost effective repair technologies. This paper will present data to support the argument that fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is an ideal material for achieving these goals.
