Adding fibers to concrete significantly improves its performance by providing post-cracking residual strength and reinforcing against temperature shrinkage. Fiber reinforcement also helps control crack widths, reducing permeability and minimizing the risk of spalling, ensuring greater durability and longer service life for your concrete structures.
Key Benefits
-
Post-Cracking Residual Strength
Fibers provide added strength after the first crack, helping to maintain structural integrity and load-bearing capacity even after the concrete has cracked.
-
Shrinkage Control
Fibers effectively reduce the impact of temperature-induced shrinkage, minimizing the potential for cracking and improving the overall stability of the concrete.
-
Reduced Crack Widths and Permeability
By controlling crack formation, fiber reinforcement lowers permeability, helping to protect the concrete from water infiltration and corrosion.
-
Enhanced Durability and Longevity
Using fibers reduces the likelihood of spalling and other forms of concrete degradation, extending the structure's lifespan.
