concrete with fibers (steel or syntetic) 1

[merbas]

if any problem just ask<br>

I'm looking for a reinforced concrete that is capable of withstanding tensile stresses of 8-10 MPa and that can be used for thin walled constructions, do you have some info?<br>

 

[Carlow]

We manufacture steel fibre reinforced concrete products in Ireland and have considerable experience in the use of the material.&nbsp;&nbsp;The value you quote is high.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is that a failure load, working load etc?<br><br>Is that flexural tension or direct tension?<br><br>What is the rate of application of the stresses?<br><br>Consequenses of failure?<br><br>How thin is thin?<br><br>Blending fibres can reduce crack development.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some work done there in Canada and USA<br><br>Is redistribution of stress (post plastic behaviour) acceptable? <br><br>Is durability an issue?<br><br>What are the proposed end uses?<br><br>Will be pleased to discuss further
