Fibre Reinforced Concrete Solution by Hanson Fibrecrete©

Fibrecrete© is Hanson’s fibre reinforced concrete solution. It’s a cheaper and safer construction method than using traditional steel mesh reinforced concrete.
Steel mesh reinforced concrete has to be delivered, manually off-loaded and stored on site. The steel mesh is time consuming to install and requires installation by skilled site workers.
The mesh can create trip hazards across the slab area. Increasing the potential health and safety risks to workers. And ready-mixed concrete trucks cannot drive on the sab area where the steel mesh is installed. This restricts the pouring process.
Fibrecrete©, however, is supplied with the fibres pre-mixed. The fibre technology comes in many forms. Plastic fibre (structural use), steel fibre (structural use) and polypropylene fibre
(non-structural use). The fibres are included in the concrete mix so no additional materials need to be stored on site. And because no steel mesh is installed, the ready-mix truck can drive on the slab area allowing for easier pouring of concrete.
There are many advantages of using fibre reinforced concrete. The process is significantly quicker than the traditional steel mesh reinforced concrete method. With 50% time saving and 20% cost savings to be had. Based on 1,000m2 this could mean a saving of £5,300 and 6 days construction time.

Fiber is good at the surface when pouring in freezing and hot temps. Keeps surface from Spaulding off

[@user-lx7mh8cu4c]

I feel like the fibers could potentially stick out of the concrete and create different hazards. The direction of the fibers cant really be controlled. Are the fibers very soft and pliable?

What is the strength? How much N/mm²

[@George.Coleman]

Or both!

[@bovmengleang81]

How's about its strength?

[@odera8289]

engineers have calculated all of that, don't worry about that

[@shawnquinlin2769]

​@@odera8289 lol sounds almost like.. scientists say covid shots are safe and effective don't worry about that

[@asdf3711]

i think comparable to steel, if not greater than. The strength is more evenly distributed and the fibers hold the concrete together even after cracking. No corroding rebar to push the concrete apart from the inside.

“Creates potential trip hazard” are you guys trying to be taken seriously?

[@odera8289]

with 'potential' being there, yes they are

let me guess, you're scared they want to steal your job as a rebar guy right?
