07 Assessment
Advantages
- Compressive strength 140?200 MPa with fibre reinforcement (FHWA ranges)
- Tensile cracking strength 6?10 MPa and modulus 40?70 GPa (FHWA ranges)
- Coefficient of thermal expansion 10?15 ?10^-6/?C (FHWA ranges)
Constraints
- Performance depends on mix design, fibre content, and curing; project-specific testing required
- ASTM C1856 establishes fabrication/testing but does not prescribe panel design
- Cost and fire performance require project-specific evaluation
