The materials that will best suite the chosen design will be described below:
Carbon Fiber does not require protection from corrosion (unlike steel), less concrete cover is required than for steel reinforcing, significantly reducing the overall thickness and weight of Carbon fiber-reinforced components. The low thermal conductivity of carbon fiber, combined with the thinner concrete sections possible with this type of reinforcing, permit the casting of insulated panels with superior thermal performance. The much higher tensile strength and stiffness of carbon fiber in comparison to mild steel, and the innovative ways in which grids of carbon fiber reinforcing can be integrated into precast concrete components, yield improvements in structural efficiency as well.
Carbon fiber composite cable substitutes for high-strength steel posttensioning strands are finding use in experimental precast concrete highway structures. It is likely that these materials will eventually enter the building construction market as well.
