In the study "Textile reinforced concrete members subjected to tension, bending, and in-plane loads," published in the Construction and Building Materials journal (December 2023), Lundgren and ...
"Traditional reinforced concrete can be quite brittle, but our bio-inspired design allows for more controlled deformation under stress, which is crucial for structural safety." The work was supported ...
Using fibre-reinforced concrete is said to significantly reduce carbon emissions, energy consumption and construction waste while also enhancing construction efficiency and structural integrity.
