FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE

• Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is concrete containing fibrous


material which increases its structural integrity.
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

• BC Horse hair.
• Egyptians used straw to reinforce mud bricks.
• 1900 asbestos fiber was used to reinforce clay posts.
• 1960 FRC,1970 SFRC, GFRC, PPFRC, Shotcrete.
• 2000+ Structural applications, Code integration, New
products.

condition.
NYLON FIBRE REINFORCED
CONCRETE
ORGANIC FIBRE
REINFORCED CONCRETE
• Some examples are:
1) JUTE
2) COIR
3) CANESPLITS.
CARBON FIBRE
REINFORCED CONCRETE

• Tensile strength of 2110 to 2815 N/Sq.mm


• High modulus of Elasicity and flexural strength.
• Posses good durability.
HYBRID-FIBRE REINFORCED
CONCRETE
• Hybrid-Fibre Concrete (HFC) contains different types of steel fibres.
• Increase the tensile strength and ductility of the concrete elements .
• Applied amounts of fibres are relatively low, which guarantees good
workability and economically acceptable costs of the concrete
mixtures.
STRENGTH OF FRC

• The concrete strength ranged between 80


and 100 MPa.
• post peak strength are enhanced, both in tension and in compression.
ELASTIC MODULUS, CREEP,
AND DRYING SHRINKAGE OF
FRC
• Tensile creep is reduced slightly.

• Flexural creep can be substantially reduced when very stiff carbon


fibers are used.

• It has little effect on the modulus of elasticity, drying shrinkage,


and compressive creep.
FAILURE MODE OF FRC
SOME DEVELOPMENTS IN FIBER
REINFORCED CONCRETE
• The newly developed FRC named Engineered
Cementitious Composite (ECC) .
• It is 500 times more resistant to cracking and 40
percent lighter than traditional concrete.
• ECC can increase the ductility of concrete or
standard fiber reinforced concrete.
• ECC also has unique cracking behavior.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENT
IN FRC
• Three new developments are taking place in FRC.They
are:
1)High Fibre Volume Micro Fibre
System.
2)Slurry Infiltrated Fibre
Concrete(SIFCON).
3)Compact Reinforced Composites.
MERITS OF FIBRE
REINFORCED CONCRETE
• Lower the permeability of concrete.
• Reduce bleeding of water.
• It control plastic shrinkage cracking and drying shrinkage cracking.
• It increase the strength of concrete.
• It reduce the flexural creep.
• It resist structures from aggressive environment, e.g. high
temperatures, ingress of chlorides and electrical fields.
DEMERITS OF FIBRE
REINFORCED CONCRETE
• Not as reliable as steel in high stress/ strain concrete members.
• Good in crack prevention, but if a crack does form fiber is not as
efficient as controlling the crack.
AREAS OF APPLICATION OF FRC
MATERIALS
• Thin Sheets.
• Roof Tiles.
• Pipes.
• Prefabricated shapes.
• Curtain walls.
• Precast elements.
• Impact resisting structures.
APPLICATION OF FIBRE
REINFORCED CONCRETE IN
CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE
• Repairs of existing constructions.
• Development of new constructions for long service-life including
tunnels.
• Used in many constructions subjected to the combination of mechanical
load and impact load.
