Abstract

Concrete is one of the primary materials in a variety of studies in the building industry. In order to increase its properties such as workability, strength, durability and other applications, as well as to reduce production costs, alternatives in concrete are also required in civil technology. Containing the fibrous content, fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) increases the structural strength of this material. It comprises small, equal sized and randomly-oriented discrete fibres. Fibers include steel, glass fibres, synthetic and natural fibres, each with a range of properties. Furthermore, fiber-reinforced concrete change characteristics with various concretes, fibre materials, geometry, distribution, orientation and permeability. In shotcrete, fibre-reinforcement is used especially but can also be used in regular concrete. Normal fibre reinforced concrete is used mainly for ground floors and floors but can be used for a wide variety of construction sections.
