Dosed at amounts equivalent to conventional reinforcement, these fibers are distributed three dimensionally throughout the concrete section. Can synthetic fibers compete “head-to-head” with steel?

Once you’ve cracked up the concrete and cut through rebar or wire mesh, it’s time to pry it up. A crowbar, pry bar, or wrecking bar are all good options, but the more leverage, the better.

The carbon fiber is woven into a mesh, or as a composite material that mimics existing rebar structures. These two types of reinforcement can be combined in a composite to produce a concrete ...

The reinforcement mesh is cast into concrete, and when the textile-reinforced concrete is loaded, the filaments slip both against the concrete and against each other inside the yarn. A textile ...

Steel can stretch, adding steel bars gives the concrete some tensile strength to go along with its compressive strength. Rebar also allows for thinner slabs and other members. Rebar or mesh ...
