Concrete Reinforcing Composites?
The main for a reinforcing concrete ve we use a lot of carbon fibre base composite. This is either a uni directional or by directional carbon fibres saturated with an epoc serason, which are externally applied on your concrete substrate. We use glass fibres too. Ar glass fibres less strong than carbon fibres. So typically concrete needs more strengthening, you end up using more carbon versus glass. But if it's like a protection based application, a lot of devotes rap their bridge columns with glass fibres so that it protects these columns from any corrosion or damage. Also, glass gives a lot of ductility.
