Because plain concrete can break easily, checking how well it can bend, and handle being pulled apart is important. Even though plain concrete is tough and strong, it's not so good at resisting being stretched. To fix this, the construction industry uses different kinds of fibers to make concrete more flexible, lasting, and able to resist being pulled. Steel fiber is often used because it's strong but can get rusty. Conversely, Carbon Fiber (CF) is a viable choice for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (FRC). because it doesn't rust, is lightweight, and has strong tensile strength. However, some researchers have noticed that CF hasn't been used as much as it could be. This research gives a summary of CF, its use in fixing and restoring projects, and the properties of CF Reinforced Concrete (CFRC). It looks at the strength, toughness, and bending qualities of CF, and studies if different types of CF can be used to fix and rehab buildings.
