![]() FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE For years, the notion that all concrete will crack has been generally accepted. Cracks in concrete structures are caused by existing stresses which exceed the strength of the concrete at a specific time. Stresses from external sources can be overcome by using concrete of a higher design strength. Internal stresses within the concrete structure caused by shrinkage are much more dificult to control because of their unpredictable nature. Concrete produced using fibers is much less susceptible to damage caused by plastic shrinkage and settlement. Fiber reinforced concrete eliminates the need for secondary reinforcement such as welded wire fabric. This results in labor and time savings at the time of placement and can provide for a superior finished product. |
