I am interested if existing Literature and/or Research reports exist of studies of fiber types and resin types regarding their resistance tothe high alkalinity environment of concrete and/or salt water exposure? Any help is appreciated.
the only fibers are syntetic fibers who resist to alkalinity and salts. others metallic and glass fibers are not good enough.<br>
<br>
As syntetic fibers the best is polypropilen fibers, because nylon and PE fiber consumed water from the mixture and difficult to make stable the concrete.<br>

Thanks, I appreciate the help<br>
I will send you "4 years studity of fiber reinforced (polyproplyne-pp) concrete and corrosion effet" and "list of resistance to chemicals (appx 500 type)" and "report of why nylon and PE not suitable for concrete" booklet via mail to your address <br>
<br>
but what is your name?<br>

You may be interested in the fact that ACI Committee 440 issued a draft on Provisional Design Recommendations for Concrete Reinforced with FRP Bars. A Draft 3 was issued in January 1999. If you contact ACI (American Concrete Institute) you might be able to get a copy.<br>
