Description: The use of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has grown steadily over the last 40 years, and extensive work has been done in recent years to optimize its properties, utilize new fiber types, and innovative surface treatments. High Performance FRC, Self-Compacting FRC, pavements and slabs using FRC, are just some of the newer applications that are growing in popularity. The authors, both teachers and scholars of concrete technology, present the latest developments in this volume. The first part of the book addresses the mechanics of fiber-reinforced brittle matrices and the implications for cementitious systems. The second part of the book describes the various types of fiber-cement composites, their production, mechanical and physical properties, durability, and applications. This publication will be of great interest to all practitioners and students of fibre reinforced concrete. Published by Taylor and Francis, 2006.
