CRC (Compact Reinforced Composite) is a special concept for High Performance Concretes, where ductility is achieved through incorporation of a large content of short, stiff and strong fibres.
This ductility combined with high strength (150-400 MPa) and exceptional durability makes it possible to utilise a large amount of reinforcement, thus giving new structural possibilities compared to conventional concrete.
The possibility of having another alternative to steel and concrete provides designers and builders with more freedom in design, giving better and more cost effective solutions.

CRC was developed in 1986 by Aalborg Portland, but has only been commercially available for 7-8 years. The first applications have been for in-situ cast joints, tunnel linings, balcony slabs etc. The special cement used for CRC is marketed and sold by CRC Technology Aps.
On the following pages you will find information about the product CRC (Compact Reinforced Composite) and some typical applications. Reports, papers and pictures on CRC can be downloaded from the Documentation page.
