The document discusses carbocrete, which is concrete reinforced with carbon fibers. It provides a history of carbon fibers dating back to Thomas Edison's use in light bulbs in the late 1800s. The manufacturing process of carbon fibers is explained involving stretching and heating fibers to increase strength. Carbocrete has higher strength than steel but is lighter. Testing shows improved flexural and tensile strength over concrete. Applications include buildings, bridges, and unique 3D printed structures. While expensive initially, carbocrete provides durability and reduced long term costs.
