Benefits of Fiber Reinforced Concrete to Replace Welded Wire or Rebar
Fiber-reinforced concrete contains a discrete synthetic fibrous material that is available in a variety of lengths, densities, and blends to create a three-dimensional reinforcement network. This fiber reinforcement enhances the durability of concrete by reducing crack widths. It is impossible to prevent concrete from cracking, so instead we focus on preventing the micro cracks from gaining momentum. Fibers are thoroughly mixed and evenly dispersed in the concrete, giving the fibers the ability to stop microcracks at an early age.
