Non-traditional reinforcing materials for concrete structures
Matériaux non traditionnels d'armature pour structures en béton
<p>Standardization in the filed of non-traditional reinforcing materials for concrete structures include
</p><p>1) long fiber for reinforcing and/or prestressing concrete
</p><p>2) short fibers for fiber reinforced concrete /FRC) and
</p><p>3) epoxy coated steel bars
</p><p>Other existing materials which are not in the list or new materials which will be developed in future may be included. These materials are supposed to be applied to new constructions and/or repair on strengthening of existing concrete structures.
</p><p>In order to ensure their proper use and to expand the application to concrete structures, following items are to be considered.
</p><p>- Standardization of test methods for non-traditional reinforcing materials for concrete structures
</p><p>- Standardization of qualities of non-traditional reinforcing 
         materials for concrete structures
</p><p>- Standardization in the field of design, construction of concrete 
         structures using non-traditional materials
</p><p>- Standardization in the field of repair and strengthening of 
         concrete structures using non-traditional materials</p>
