Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete for Bridge Construction and Rehabilitation
This research project aims to evaluate the performance of low-shrinkage fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) used in the construction and rehabilitation of transportation structures. This research is an extension of projects entitled “Enhance performance of fiber-reinforced concrete with adapted rheology” and “Performance of fiber-reinforced self-consolidating concrete (FR-SCC) for repair of bridge sub-structures and fiber-reinforced super-workable concrete (FR-SWC) for infrastructure construction” that were supported by the RE-CAST UTC. To develop FRC with alternative binder materials to replace Portland cement supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) will be used. Further work is needed to evaluate the effect of key parameters, such as alternative SCMs, binders, and fiber type on fresh and hardened performance of the FRC mixture. In addition, laboratory investigations will be conducted to validate the performance of these novel materials under various field conditions, including marine and frost conditions.
