Abstract
Abstract
This paper aims to compare Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and Geo-Polymer Concrete (GPC) for high-rise construction. In doing so, 8 case studies from the USA and Australia are reviewed. The ever-increasing use of material processing linked to environmental degradation has encouraged industries to seek alternative materials. Both FRC and GPC are examples of such alternative materials. Their composition of these materials is derived from manufacturing, building and construction excess. Concerns remain, however, regarding these material’s abilities such as strength, when compared to the traditional i.e. concrete, steel etc. This paper reviews select case studies where FRC and GPC materials have been used. In addition, their overall structural integrity was also observed. This paper then scrutinized their Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) to uncover their specific structural performance. Subsequently, this paper found that for both FRC and GPC extreme weathering conditions may affect their structural performance. Finally, case study review also indicates additional comprehensive research is required to review such relationship.
