New materials in structural design

Abstract

[EN] This research paper gives an insightful general overview for the application of high-strength concrete, self-compacting concrete and fiber-reinforced polymer sheets and bars in building structures. The basic properties of high-strength concrete and self-compacting concrete materials have been discussed in order to give a better understanding of how we can best utilize them in new construction projects. Whereas, the primary use for the application of fiber-reinforced polymer sheets and bars have been presented for its ability to reinforce older structures. Thereby making them safer and extending their life-cycle.
