Overview
Water reservoir are subject to unique challenges including cyclic stress fatigue during regular filling / emptying. Unlike plain brittle concrete, fibre reinforced concrete provides flexure fatigue resistance and residual strength.

Benefits
- Plastic Shrinkage Cracks: Duracrete polypropylene fibre added to fresh concrete provides protection against shrinkage cracking up to approximately 80%.
- Groundwater Penetration: Reduction in surface cracks improves concrete’s resistance to water penetration by approximately 60%.
- Secondary Reinforcement: Duracrete fibre provides three-dimensional and lasting reinforcement that does not rust.
- Flexural Fatigue: FRC-fibre reinforced concrete improves toughness, shear resistance and fatigue endurance. Flexural properties of FRC increase up to 30%.
- Corrosion Protection: Duracrete fibre concrete cover decreases water permeability, which will help decrease corrosion of steel rebar.
Wonderful blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Kudos!
