This document provides information on fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) pavements. It discusses the history of concrete pavements beginning in 1889. It then defines FRC, describing different fiber types including steel, synthetic, polypropylene, and natural fibers. The document outlines various FRC types such as steel fiber reinforced concrete and glass fiber reinforced concrete. It also discusses mixing methods and applications. Cost reduction methods for FRC pavements are mentioned. References are provided at the end.
