There has been an increased focus on manufacturing high-performance concrete products by adding various fibers, in different proportions. The fibers like glass, carbon, polypropylene and aramid fibers provide improvement in concrete properties like tensile strength, fatigue characteristic, durability, shrinkage, impact and erosion resistance. Because of such characteristics, Fiber Reinforced Concrete has found many applications across […] The post Glass-Fiber Reinforced Concrete – ad
