FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE. PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM, MADRAS, 16-19 DECEMBER 1987

Incorporation of steel or other fibre in concrete has been found to improve several of its properties: cracking resistance, impact and wear resistance, ductility, and fatigue resistance. Several types and configurations of fibres have now been developed and significant improvements have been made in the mixing and placing of fibre reinforced concrete. Steel, glass and polypropylene fibres as well as natural fibres such as sisal, coir and jute have been used in certain applications. Topics include: Theory of fibre reinforced concrete composites; Properties & behavior of steel reinforced concrete; Properties of fibre reinforced concrete using fibres other than steel; Production, testing methods & specifications; Durability of long-term performance; etc.
