Structural & Sustainability Requirement for Precast Segment
The use of steel fibre reinforced concrete has the potential to meet low carbon lining by lowering concrete consumption and steel reinforcement saving while producing precast segments. If ductility and durability have been the key words in the last 40 years, sustainability will be the key driver for further FRC lining development in the coming years.
