Description
A follow up to the 2025 presentation on Fiber Reinforced Concrete, this program from the Fiber Reinforced Concrete Association will update the attendees on the continuing successful applications of FRC, current state of the art with engineering calculations, ACI and other relevant approval documents, the beneficial impacts through sustainability and will discuss limitations and practical issues in the field. Large industrial floors, pavements, insulated concrete formwork, precast, elevated deck and underground applications will all showcase how fibers make concrete more durable, economical, easier to place and lower the environmental
footprint of construction.
