Title
ASTM & ACI Code Development
Context

Industry-wide development of standards and design guidance for composite materials.

Challenge

Growing adoption of FRP reinforcement systems required updated standards and technical guidance to support implementation across the construction industry.

Ecotori's contribution

Contribution to ASTM D8448/D8448M-22 for basalt fiber strands and participation in the development of the new PRC 440.1 guide for FRP-reinforced concrete structures.

Outcome / impact
  • Advancement of industry-wide FRP standardization
  • Support for broader adoption of advanced reinforcement systems
  • Contribution to the evolution of codes and standards governing composite materials
  • Technical leadership within the advanced materials engineering community
