Fiber concrete reinforcement can be a cost-effective, durable and even sustainable alternative to conventional steel like rebar and wire mesh. Can synthetic fibers compete “head-to-head” with ...

ARDEX ARDICOAT MESH is a highly flexible treated glass fiber mesh that reinforces ARDEX ARDICOAT PLUS waterproofing compound. Embedding this mesh into the freshly applied waterproofing compound ...

Basalt fiber-reinforced concrete can withstand high temperatures without losing its structural integrity, making it ideal for use in fire-retardant concrete applications.

They sponsored jointly-funded research that pioneered the use of fiber mesh reinforcement in precast panels to make them stronger and lighter.

By embedding a typical concrete mix with short carbon fibers, an iron-coated mesh of carbon fiber, and another mesh coated in nickel, the concrete can be made to conduct and store small amounts of ...

MIT researchers have discovered that when you mix cement and carbon black with water, the resulting concrete self-assembles into an energy-storing supercapacitor that can put out enough juice to ...

In this case, conductive carbon fibers mixed into cement (a main ingredient of concrete) substitute for the electrolyte. The researchers embedded layers of a carbon-fiber mesh, coated in nickel or ...

Seen as one of the great promises for the future of construction, carbon concrete mixes strength, lightness and flexibility.
