This paper presents a rhetorical discussion on the subject of fiber-reinforced concrete, FRC. It is intended as an overview of the types of commercially available FRCs and how they work. It discusses commonly applied terminology and models of mechanical behavior that form a basis for understanding material performance without presenting mathematical details. Historical review is intended to help build a background for what is currently understood about FRC rather than as historical reporting. References from both early and contemporary authors are included as a means of tying the subject together along a time line.read more

Properties and applications of foamed concrete; a review
TL;DR: Foamed concrete possesses characteristics such as high strength-to-weight ratio and low density as discussed by the authors, which reduces dead loads on the structure and foundation, contributes to energy conservation, and lowers the labor cost during construction.

Material and structural performance evaluation of recycled pet fiber reinforced concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, a method to recycle wasted PET bottles is presented, in which short fibers made from recycled PET are used within structural concrete, and the results show that compressive strength and elastic modulus both decreased as fiber volume fraction increased.

Mechanics of Crack Arrest in Concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the tensile strength of concrete is proportional to the inverse square root of the defect diameter, where the fault diameter is defined by the wire spacing of the wire.
