1. Analysis of Composite Fiber Reinforced Concrete Slabs Authors: Scott Tomlinson and Levon Minnetyan P.E., Member ASCE Presenter: Scott Tomlinson Principal Investigator: Levon Minnetyan

2. Objective Investigate the Design of Reinforced Concrete Slabs Without Steel –Use Fiberglass Base –Increase Slab Life Span –Increase Slab Strength Use CODSTRAN Computer Simulation –Avoid Curing Time for Concrete –Make Changes Easy to Enact

3. Methods Validate Computer Modeling Technique Extend Model to the Desired Design –Multiplex Include Variations In: –Loading - Concentrated Vs. Distributed –Fiber Depth Expand Fiber Reinforcements Widthwise

6. Calibration

9. Tests

10. Next Steps Finish Evaluating Variations in Fiber Depth Expand Width Again –Run Distributed Loads –Run Concentrated Loads –Vary Fiber Depth on each Estimated Computer Time, 6 more days

11. Any Questions? Thanks Dr. Minnetyan! Thank you for your time.
