Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete is a brittle material and if uncracked any reinforcing placed with in the concrete matrix is redundant but 90% of the time concrete will fatigue and show signs of cracking but to where is hard to predict but how much it will crack can be determined and controlled by means of reinforcement. What type of reinforcing and the material properties of the reinforcing play a major role in the redistribution of these stresses and how significant the crack widths will be.
The articles in this section hopefully give the reader a better understanding of the appropriate fibre to be used for a given application. It is also worth noting that Fibre technology is changing all the time and new and innovative products, techniques and methods for placing Fibre Reinforced concrete are always being developed.
