2014 RIME Group Seminar (speaker: Dr. Kamal Khayat, Director of RECAST)

Dr. Kamal H. Khayat, Ph.D. P.E. will hold a seminar about the Fiber-Reinforced Self-Consolidating Concrete on Friday, May 9, 2014.

Description: The seminar presents results of a study on the performance of fiber-reinforced self-consolidating concrete (FR-SCC) as a structural repair material for concrete structures. The effect of fiber type and volume on workability, mechanical properties, and visco-elastic properties is evaluated. The structural response of composite reinforced concrete beams repaired using FR-SCC is evaluated. Test results indicated that the optimized self-consolidating repair mixtures can successfully restore the flexural capacity of the test beams, showing a great potential in repair and infrastructure rehabilitation.
