REINFORCEMENT FOR CEMENT- AND STEEL-BASED STRUCTURES

The invention relates to a new type of stabilization of concrete and cement-based materials and steel. The stabilization is accomplished by reinforcement by means of fiber-stabilized stone bars or stone slabs. The stone can be a natural stone or an artificial stone, the thermal expansion coefficient of which lies between that of the materials to be joined, i.e. between the coefficient of the fiberin question and the coefficient of the cement-based construction material in question, such as concrete or steel. The stone becomes a compensating connection element between fibers and concrete or steel, which have different thermal expansion behavior. This enables long-fiber-stabilized concrete structures in order to, among other things, replace CO2-intensive steel and make construction materials CO2-negative if the fiber bound carbon during production, which is the case with natural fibers and carbon fibers that are produced from CO2. The stone preferably has a nonlinear geometry and/or surface if the non-positive
