Comprehensive findings on the mechanical behavior of non-metallic reinforcement were collected within the past 40 years. In addition, first successful applications proved the functionality of the material as concrete reinforcement. The usage of non-metallic reinforcement is argued by the assumption of a lower environmental impact, a lower material consumption, a higher durability and subsequently low life-cycle costs. However, scientific evidence on that assumptions and overall life cycle assessments are still missing. Clear objective of the research project therefore is a structured reconditioning of the topic and the establishment of a sound decision-making tool for infrastructure operators to determine prospective fields of application of non-metallic reinforcement under consideration of economic and ecologic aspects. The specific objectives are: (1) Compilation of the economic and ecologic basics for the use of non-metallic reinforcement in Austria; (2) Determination of the potential for application of non-metallic reinforcement in infrastructure buildings (small precast elements, anchor walls, structural and post-tensioned precast elements, bridges,…); (3) Publication of a decision-making tool for infrastructure buildings.
