Abstract:Concrete infrastructures in cold areas such as South Dakota tend to experience early deterioration that is mostly triggered by steel corrosion. The corrosion is initiated by chloride penetration through cracks in the concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is known to be a good alternative to conventional concrete in cold areas due to its enhanced durability and resistance to crack development. There is little guidance for SDDOT pertaining to the use and testing of FRC. There is also lack of information about new fiber products that have been introduced to the market in recent years. A comprehensive literature review, as well as interviews with SDDOT and other DOT personnel, were carried out in this study to evaluate past FRC experiences, effect of different factors on the properties of FRC, and existing FRC design and construction practices.
