Concrete Reinforcement Uses Different Types Of Fibers for Best Results
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is that type of concrete that is containing fibrous material that increases its structural integrity. Containing a short discrete fibers (uniformly distributed and randomly oriented) the concrete becomes stronger and better for use. There are four main types of fibers for the concrete:
Natural fiber reinforced concrete (NFRC) consists of cellulose fibers that are processed from pine trees. This category is also producing good results. The recycled carpet waste has been successfully used for concrete reinforcement by using the waste carpet fibers.
Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced (PFR) concrete:
Polypropylene is a cheap and abundant polymer widely used due to its resistance to forming chemical reactions.
Asbestos Fibers:
These fibers are cheap and provide the cement with mechanical, chemical and thermal resistance, although the asbestos fiber reinforced concrete appears to have low impact strength.
Carbon Fibers:
These fibers have been recently used due to their very high modulus of elasticity and flexural strength. Characteristics such as strength and stiffness are better than those of steel fibers, although they are more susceptible to damage.
