Description

This is a recorded webinar from August 23, 2023.

This webinar is jointly sponsored by NEx: An ACI Center of Excellence for Nonmetallic Building Materials and the American Concrete Institute (ACI).

The rising costs of construction and labor shortages have sparked a growing interest in the utilization of fiber-reinforced concrete. Synthetic fibers have emerged as a durable and effective non-metallic reinforcement solution that enhances concrete performance. This presentation will provide an overview of the types of synthetic fibers, their applications, and offer practical recommendations for design and specifications. Key ACI documents related to fiber-reinforced concrete that will serve as valuable resources for practitioners involved in designing fiber-reinforced concrete elements will be highlighted.
