Fiber concrete is in fact a composite that has a very high flexural and tensile strength and perfectly integrates the concrete as a ductile material to produce resilient and curved surfaces.
The fiber concrete slab will be very solid and highly resilient. Other benefits of fiber concrete will be uniformly distributed on the package and reduced runtime compared to the reinforcement.
Reducing the thickness of the concrete, preventing rupture and fragmentation during the years of operation, and reducing costs by 10 to 15 percent, than the use of reinforcement is one of the main advantages of fiber concrete.
The company has completed several projects with various types of fibers, such as all types of metal fibers, ceramic fibers, synthetic fibers (polymers), carbon fibers and polypropylene.
Other features of fiber reinforced concrete include:
– High energy absorption
– Resistance to wear and tear
– Resistance to fatigue stresses
– Increased impact resistance
– Possibility of carrying after the possible abandonment in concrete
– Increased shear strength by 35%
– Increase concrete strain capacity
– Resistance to thermal stresses
– Avoid cracks in concrete
– Reduced chlorine ion penetration and control of corrosion of concrete
– Application:
Slabs, industrial floor slabs, pavements, ramps and nests and runways, tunnels, explosive structures, exposed concrete, cold stores, dams.
* It is worth mentioning that fiber concrete, like the properties of plastic materials, makes the fibers multi-dimensional and widespread, and in the case of cracking, in different directions, it creates connections that prevent crack expansion.
Types of fibers:
– Steel Fibers
– carbon fiber
– Polypropylene fibers
– Ceramic fiber
