The Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) rebar industry is about thirty years old. The industry started by molding aramid and carbon fibers with various thermoset resins, and then expanded to glass fibers ...

Under a £282 million (~$381 million) project, the National Composites Center (NCC, Bristol, U.K.) and construction company Skansa (Stockholm, Sweden) are trialing an “industry-first” low-carbon ...

Basalt Composite Rebar is manufactured with innovative Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer composite technology. Basalt (volcanic) rock adds unmatched strength, with superior mechanical properties and ...

Researchers in Northern Ireland report promising results from a demonstration project that used rods made with basalt fibers to reinforce a 22-meter-long concrete-deck section of a $1.5-million ...

New York-based Roman Stone Construction has partnered with Rock Fiber, Inc. to introduce basalt fibres to the United States precast concrete market, an advanced composite reinforcement technology ...

Concrete is a mix of cement, an aggregate such as gravel, and water. For added strength, steel fibers are often added. Now, scientists are claiming that a new type of fiber-reinforced concrete could ...

When adding steel fibers the size of a clip, concrete is less prone to cracking, an engineer demonstrates. What the study shows is that this material has certain advantages over conventional ...
