Various types of fibre may be added to the concrete to improve its properties. The main fibres used are polypropylene and macro synthetic fibres to give added strength.
Fibre concrete is used extensively for industrial ground-supported floors. The fibres provide some degree of control over the formation of early thermal and shrinkage cracks. They give the hardened concrete some post-cracking residual strength.
A recent innovation has been the use of synthetic fibres to replace the nominal reinforcement in composite slabs on metal decking (Structural elements/Suspended floors/Steel concrete composite suspended floors).
A&L McCrae have extensive experience of the use of all fibre types in concrete, if you have any queries on the use of fibres please feel free to ask us and we will be able to help.
