The world's biomes. Biomes are defined as the world's major communities, classified according to the predominant vegetation and characterized by adaptations of organisms to that particular environment (Campbell 1996). The importance of biomes cannot be overestimated.
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is concrete containing fibrous material which increases its structural integrity.he concept of using fibers as reinforcement is not new. Fibers have been used as reinforcement since ancient times. Historically, horsehair was used in mortar and straw in mud bricks. In the 1900s, asbestos fibers were used in concrete.
Fiberglass: First of all this commonly used term is a bit of a misnomer. Correctly labeled it would be either FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) or GRP (glass reinforced plastic). If you have a âfiberglassâ boat you have, in actuality, a plastic boat. The plastic is reinforced with a glass fiber material in much the same way that todayâs concrete structures are reinforced with steel rebar. No one calls a concrete structure a steel structure because it is reinforced with steel.
