Abstract:
The Rob and Melani Walton Center for Planetary Health at Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA, rises from a triangular lot like a giant cracked-open geode. Clad in a shell of glass fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC), the building’s paneled façade is based on biomimicry of a saguaro cactus’ orientation to the sun.
CI4709Q&A
This month’s Q&A discusses the reinforcement stiffness ratio ρne that can be used for comparing the performance of various reinforcement types in slabs-on-ground and the design approach for glass fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcement in ACI/NEx MNL-6(23) based on percent reduction in unrestrained shrinkage strain from the enhanced aggregate interlock design of ACI PRC-360-10.

A new certification program co-sponsored by NEx: An ACI Center of Excellence for Nonmetallic Building Materials is now available through ACI Certification. The program, titled “GFRP Reinforcing Bar Inspector” is designed to qualify individuals responsible for inspecting the installation of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars in concrete construction. This program reinforces NEx’s mission to advance the safe and effective use of nonmetallic materials.
CI4707Huso
To reduce costs and minimize construction schedules for the recent light rail extension in the Phoenix, AZ, USA metropolitan area, track slabs and platform plinths were constructed using fiber-reinforced concrete instead of traditional steel-reinforced concrete. For every concrete placement, the use of fiber-reinforced concrete is estimated to have saved at least 1 to 2 days of labor.

This article introduces the latest fiber-reinforced polymer panel system developed by the author—SPiRe®+. These panels can serve as formwork, corrosion resistant reinforcement, and waterproofing. With their flat and smooth exterior face and protruding T-profiles on the interior face, the panels act as reinforcing elements for strengthening beams, slabs, and walls.
