Fibre-reinforced roller-compacted concrete transport pavements

Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete is recent introduction in the field of concrete technology. The present day world is witnessing the construction of very challenging and difficult Civil Engineering Structures. Concrete being the most important and widely used material is called upon to possess very high strength and sufficient workability properties. Concrete the most widely used consrtuction ma...

Structural Design Using the Roller-compacted Concrete (rcc) Construction Process

This Engineer Technical Letter (ETL) discusses the special problem areas and concerns related to RCC construction in order to assure that the concrete properties required are ultimately realized in the completed structure. A quality RCC product requires a coordinated effort between the structural designer, the materials engineer, the materials laboratory, and those responsible for field quality...

Ductility Performance of Hybrid Fibre Reinforced Concrete

This study presents a study on the ductility performance of hybrid fibre reinforced concrete. The influence of fibre content on the ductility performance of hybrid fibre reinforced concrete specimens having different fibre volume fractions was investigated. The parameters of investigation included modulus of rupture, ultimate load, service load, ultimate and service load deflection, crack width...

Applications and Properties of Fibre Reinforced Concrete

In conventional concrete, micro-cracks develop before structure is loaded because of drying shrinkage and other causes of volume change. When the structure is loaded, the micro cracks open up and propagate because of development of such micro-cracks, results in inelastic deformation in concrete. Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is cementing concrete reinforced mixture with more or less randomly ...
