State of The Art Review On The Evaluation Of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

In many cold countries, concrete buildings frequently experience early deterioration that is primarily brought on by steel corrosion. Chloride seeps into the concrete's fissures and starts the corrosion process. Due to its increased durability and resistance to crack development, fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is recognized as a suitable substitute for traditional concrete in cold climates. FRC is a brand-new structural substance that is becoming more and more significant. Numerous engineering characteristics of concrete are enhanced by the discrete addition of fiber reinforcement. Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is gaining popularity in various applications such as thin un-bonded overlay tunneling, bridge decks, pavements, concrete pads, and concrete slabs, loading docks, and exhibiting excellent performance. However, there is limited research on FRC. This paper aims to conduct a literature review of FRC research, which reveals a significant increase in research on the theory and practice of FRC. The study identifies the main topics, key articles, and major author groups in FRC research, which can help expand the scope of research in FRC to various subfields in the future.
