This website is for promoting and increasing the understanding of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC). Please browse through the extensive information available and you are welcome to make contact if there are any queries or comments.
It is hoped the information contained in this website will be of interest to a range of people in the construction industry and research institutes. Including practicing engineers, builders, contractors, architects, suppliers, and researchers. The projects and research shown on this website have been completed independently of fibre suppliers. The aim is to provide impartial information and prompt new ideas.
Structures
Examples of concrete structures that are well suited to fibre reinforced concrete include:- Bridges
- Precast building elements
- Tunnels
- Pavements
Refer to the Structures section for more information and case studies.
Research
Research initiatives that provide a better understanding of fibre reinforced concrete include:
- Further development of the fracture mechanics method based on laboratory testing
- Bursting stresses and containment
- Torsion stresses
- Plastic theory as applied to FRC
- Relationship between energy absorption (there are numerous tests) and real world structures
Refer to the Research section for technical papers, further information and suggestions for new investigations.
