Q. How is reinforced concrete designed using fibers instead of traditional steel? A. Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is designed using methods outlined in ACI 544.4R, which provides guidance on the structural design of concrete members reinforced with fibers. Additional guidance for specific applications can be found in documents published by ACI Committees 239 and 360, which address fiber-reinforced concrete in areas such as slabs-on-ground and specialized structural applications.
