Floating breakwater pontoon pilot cast with carbon textile reinforcement-based ultra high durability concrete: Materials development and testing, and implementation in the North Atlantic (Irelands west coast)
A floating unit with three pontoons made of epoxy-coated carbon textile reinforced, ultra-high durability concrete (ECF UHDC), mineral impregnated carbon fibre-reinforced UHDC (MCF UHDC) and, as references, steel-reinforced concretes has been designed and installed in the Northern Atlantic. While ma...
