Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) has been in use for last 40 years. Annually 50 million cubic meter of FRC is produced. Advantages of FRC: Provides a 3D reinforcement. Prevents shrinkage cracking. No hairy concrete – a smooth finish. Resist explosive spalling of concrete exposed to fire. Effective replacement for steel mesh in slab on grade. …
Duracrete PP fibres and Silica fumes in any concrete structure enhances many of its mechanical properties, especially for structures exposed to sudden impact or blast loading. Various tests were performed in laboratory on properties of concrete and remarkable increase in properties of concrete was observed.
