A look at how emerging technologies for FRP concrete provide alternatives to traditionally used steel and glass fibers.
UNM Engineers just patented a bendable, 3D-printable concrete material, that could change the game for construction 3D ...
The addition of polymer fibers can provide a little extra support, should the material be strained in tension or torsion.
"Scrap carpet fibers can increase concrete's strength by 40% in tension and substantially reduce shrinkage." In laboratory tests, concrete reinforced with carpet fibers met Australian Standards ...
Armed with a 3D concrete printer, careful measuring tools, and just the right ingredients, a team at The University of New ...
The textile reinforcement enables savings in concrete, slim shapes and maximum force absorption, as the reinforcing fibers ...
Performing regular maintenance of the layup tool for successful sealing and release is required to reduce the risk of part adherence. Composite materials are being successfully adopted for ...
The new ultra-ductile cementitious material could eliminate the need for conventional steel reinforcement in 3D printed ...
