  • Life Cycle, Service Life, and Durability of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Pavement Systems

    December 15, 2017

    Pavement systems for this discussion are defined as conventional highways and local municipal roadways, controlled access and surface roads, ingress/egress pavements at commercial and industrial facilities, truck terminals, and parking lots or storage lots for ocean-going containers or other bulk handling facilities. Service life, durability, and life-cycle costs are considered the principle criteria for evaluating […]

  • Abrasion, Impact & Fatigue Resistance of Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete

    August 24, 2017

    Synthetic fibers have long been known to provide temperature-shrinkage crack resistance and post-first crack toughness to concrete and have been incorporated as secondary reinforcement in concrete since the late 1970’s.  However, synthetic fibers have continued to evolve since their birth and advancements made with newer generations of synthetic fibers allow for greater enhancement to the […]

  • Placing, Finishing & Jointing Tips for Fiber Reinforced Concrete

    August 10, 2017

    PLACING: Synthetic, steel, and blended fiber reinforced concrete can be placed using conventional methods such as concrete chutes, buckets, conveyors, and pumps. Whereas, Fiber Reinforced Shotcrete (FRS) can be placed using standard shotcrete equipment. WORKABILITY: The slump of concrete is NOT an indicator of workability. Instead, the slump is used to measure the consistency of the concrete […]

  • What are the Differences Between Types A, B, C and D FIBC Fabrics?

    December 10, 2014

    Bulk Bags or FIBC fabrics are all about controlling static electricity, which is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. When bulk bags are rapidly filled and discharged, the flowing movement of finely powdered substances can cause a buildup of static electricity. Removing or preventing an electrical charge is […]

  • How Should Concrete Mixes with High Dosages of Macrosynthetic Fibers Be Adjusted?

    December 10, 2014

    In this article, we will review an acceptable approach to adjusting concrete mixes with high dosages of Macrosynthetic Fibers, such as ABC Polymer’s FiberForce 650™, Performance Plus DOT™ and Macro-Pro™, are used as reinforcement in the concrete at dosage levels from 3.0 to 11.0 pcy. The Basics When we talk about a standard concrete mix design […]

  • Macrosynthetic Fibers Increase Project Profitability and Reduce Project Costs

    October 24, 2014

    Macrosynthetic Fibers Increase Project Profitability Over Conventional Temperature-Shrinkage Control When using conventional WWF (welded wire fabric) or #3 & #4 rebar for temperature-shrinkage control Structural Engineers sometimes use a one-size-fits-all approach on projects to minimize the potential for the field crew to place the wrong reinforcement system in a cross-section. However, the Structural Engineer may […]
