While adding steel, micro-synthetic, or macro-synthetic (a more recent development) fibers to concrete have been around for decades, the benefits of utilizing fiber to reinforce concrete span from ...

For over a century, steel rebar has been the go-to material to reinforce concrete but a new approach promises to make the common building material stronger and more environmentally friendly.

A team of UC Berkeley researchers developed an innovative way to reinforce concrete using 3D-printed structures known as polymer lattices, drawing the attention of the world of concrete. With polymer ...

According to a May 2022 market report, the global fiber-reinforced polymer rebar market size reached $171.3 million in 2020. North America accounts for the largest share and this growth is expected to ...

The team says that the graphene-reinforced concrete has several environmental benefits. Not only could it help prevent waste tires from ending up in landfill, but the extra strength of the final ...
