Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Fibre Reinforced Concrete is concrete containing fibres which increases its structural integrity. Depending upon application various fibres like Steel and Synthetic Fibres are used.

Fiber has always played an important role in reinforcing concrete since prehistoric ages. The use of straw in mud bricks and reinforcing them with horsehair is a well-known tradition being followed since ages. With time, the technology has improved and we are getting more options for reinforced concrete. As for example, in the twentieth century, asbestos fibers were added to cement to reinforce it.
