Fiber-reinforced concrete withstands strong earthquakes

Article Abstract:

Fiber-reinforced concrete can substantially increase the ability of slab-to-column connections to minimize earthquake damage, according to researchers from the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan. The researchers undertook three tests to find alternative reinforcement methods for slab-to-column framing systems.
