Why is it necessary to use concrete mesh? Because while concrete has very good compressive strength, its tensile and flexural strengths are lower. However, concrete structures typically experience all three forces, so we use concrete mesh to increase tensile and flexural strength and reinforce larger areas of concrete surfaces. Steel has been used for reinforcing…
Why there is need for a substitute solution for concrete steel mesh when concrete reinforcing steel mesh has been proven for over 200 years? I think because that’s how the world evolves. Concrete has been used since the time of the Romans, over 2000 years ago. However, real development began in the 1820s when cement…
The birth of fiber-reinforced concrete is not recent but it’s relentlessly evolving. In 2018, when I first heard about fiber-reinforced concrete, I simply “walked by it.” It took nearly a year until I saw the benefits it offers and delved into its various applications. It has so many advantages over reinforced concrete that at first,…
Meeting fiber-reinforced concrete In 2018, I encountered macrofiber structural concrete for the first time. This product was named Eco Fiber. Before that, I didn’t even know that fiber-reinforced concrete existed. At first, I couldn’t believe that it could do everything they claimed. However, it kept coming back to me, again and again, and wouldn’t let…
These mistakes frequently occur during concrete pouring. You can already avoid them. With fiber-reinforced concrete, you can achieve much more durable results and even save your wallet, but let’s first look at the possible mistakes that can occur during concrete pouring, which you will already avoid. Overwatering the concrete We encounter this problem most often.…
