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 ...

The term "fiber" originates from the Latin word "fibra," signifying a thread-like structure or filament. In the context of construction materials, fiber constitutes an essential component in concrete technology, representing discrete filamentous elements of varying lengths employed for both micro- and macro-scale reinforcement of cementitious composites.

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…

The use of steel fiber has been around for about 100 years. Polypropylene fiber appeared as a result of a search to eliminate its shortcomings

When using microfibers for dispersed reinforcement, it should be understood what the task is for this material. It is generally accepted in the construction industry in Europe and the United States that microfibers serve solely to reduce cracking ...

The floor is the main element of any building, therefore it is so important that it is made conscientiously, of high quality and safe. This applies not only to the strength of the structure, but also to its safety for health ...
