a team at TU Dresden in Germany have completed what is believed to be the world’s first building made with carbon-reinforced concrete, in which the steel rebar is replaced with carbon fiber.
Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) is a lightweight material ... If that happens, any rebar reinforcing RAAC can also decay, rust and weaken. Because of this, RAAC is often coated ...
The metal inside the concrete is known as rebar (an abbreviation of “reinforcing bars”), and this supports so much of the infrastructure you see around you, including bridges, highways ...
