Long Carbon Fibers May Improve Blast Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Buildings

摘要

A significant amount of research has gone into finding new use for carbon fibers in the construction industry. The basic tenets of lending strength to the concrete system, increasing longevity, and high performance under extreme stress conditions make carbon fibers indispensable for use. In general, concrete buildings require repairing or reconstruction due to environmental, constructional, and material problems. It is to be noted that many reinforced concrete buildings that were built during the high-growth period for reinforced concrete construction are slated to be replaced in the near future.
