Low-Carbon Fibre Reinforced Concrete in Sprayed, Precast & Cast-in-Situ Concrete Underground Applications in Singapore

by Mr. Gan Cheng Chian, NV Bekaert

Thursday, 22 February 2024 // 7.00 - 8.30 pm

ABSTRACT:

Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) has been used in Southeast Asia since 1990. With the recent publication of the Singapore Standard SS 674: 2021, the use of fibre reinforced concrete is increasing. This comes at a time when low carbon concrete solutions are also being actively promoted. FRC are used in sprayed, precast & cast-in-situ concrete. This paper will present the use of FRC in these 3 underground applications in Singapore. Some design and QA/QC issues will be discussed. And lastly, the way to move further into low-carbon solutions will be explained.
