Research into new fiber-reinforced concretes continues today.

In the 1950s, the concept of composite materials came into being and fiber-reinforced concrete was one of the topics of interest.

This method of mix proportioning is especially popular when producing high-strength concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete.

Recent studies performed on a high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete in a bridge deck found that adding fibers provided residual strength and controlled cracking.

This phenomenon is made possible through the development of multiple microscopic cracks, opposed to the single crack/strain softening behavior exhibited by typical fiber-reinforced concretes.

Modern constructions, especially skyscrapers, are constructed in "neo-modern" style, dressed with alucobond, fiber-reinforced concrete, marble and granite.

Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is concrete containing fibrous material which increases its structural integrity.

Homopolymers of polyacrylonitrile have been used as fibers in hot gas filtration systems, outdoor awnings, sails for yachts, and fiber-reinforced concrete.

A widely used application for fiber-reinforced concrete is structural laminate, obtained by adhering and consolidating thin layers of fibers and matrix into the desired thickness.

A new kind of natural fiber-reinforced concrete (NFRC) made of cellulose fibers processed from genetically modified slash pine trees is giving good results.

ASTM A820-06 - Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (superseded)

ECC claims it can sustain strain-hardening up to several percent strain, resulting in a material ductility of at least two orders of magnitude higher when compared to normal concrete or standard fiber-reinforced concrete.
