scope:
This Tech Fact illustrates which codes and guides specify WWR and that none recognize any form of fibers as concrete reinforcement. The publication focuses on ettringite and alkali-silica phenomena causing cracking which makes the use of steel reinforcement necessary. A historical performance of an Iowa paving project proved the effectiveness of reinforced concrete over unreinforced concrete.
