Non-metal reinforcements for concrete components
The use of non-metallic reinforcements consisting of carbon or glass fiber allows manufacturing thin, slender concrete components, which are durable simultaneously. Since carbon and glass fibers do not corrode, the usual concrete covers can be reduced from several centimeters to a few millimeters. Hence, components with a thickness between 20 and 30 mm are possible, enabling attractive solutions made of concrete, in particular, in façade construction, for balcony parapets, concrete furniture or in the field of rehabilitation.
But non-metallic reinforcements are also predestined for fields not...
