Discover the impact of fibers on concrete and types of dispersed reinforcement. Explore the applications and strong polymer macrofibers: ArmoTec, FiberMix®, and PolyMesh®.

The design life of cement concrete roads is 20-30 years and 8-12 years for asphalt concrete pavement. But due to violations of laying technology, heavy traffic flow and the negative influence of various factors, premature damage to the roadway occurs. Dispersed reinforcement with fiber allows to solve the problem.

A strong and durable concrete slab was constructed using polymer fiber reinforcement in the container terminal project in Stolnik, Sofia, Bulgaria. The inclusion of ArmoTec 40mm macrofiber in the concrete mix enhanced the durability, resistance to cracking, and optimal performance under heavy loads.

The project involved reinforcing concrete slabs with ArmoTec 40mm macrofibers and saw-cut expansion joints for both a road and warehouse in Cherven Bryag, Bulgaria, with varying concrete thicknesses and grades.

Recently, a new composite material has spread, which is used in the construction of industrial, commercial, agricultural and residential buildings. Cement-sand mortar with reinforcing elements is called fiber-reinforced concrete. As an additive, fibers from polypropylene, glass, metal or basalt are used.

The screed is poured over the ceilings when installing floor coverings and installing a floor heating system. The solution is made from concrete, cement-sand, gypsum or multi-component mixture. The complexity of the work lies in the fact that during the drying of the surface shrinkage occurs, microcracks form. Fiber screed improves the quality of the raw material.

Underfloor heating is gaining popularity as it helps to evenly increase the temperature in the room without wasting energy. Several technology options are used: classic water, water-electric, with heating elements made of metal tape or using heating cables. Often the system is mounted in a screed, which causes some difficulties.

Polypropylene fibers are having a big impact in several industries, including the construction, automotive, and textile industries.

It has long been known that in order to create a more durable and flexible concrete mixture, you should buy alkali-resistant fiberglass in advance in the online store of fiber for concrete, because there are the most optimal prices. However, it is possible that ...

Fiber comes from the Latin "fibra", which means fiber. Fiber is a necessary component in concrete and consists of individual fibers of various lengths that are used for micro and macro concrete reinforcement. ...

Today in construction, the percentage of use of concrete in road works, in the construction of road pavements, is increasing. The conducted studies of crack resistance of heavy concrete recommends them as the best option in the construction of highways that meet European standards. Due…
