Some types of fibers produce greater impact, abrasion and shatter resistance in concrete. Generally, fibers do not increase the flexural strength of concrete, so it can not replace moment resisting or structural steel reinforcement. Some fibers reduce the strength of concrete. The amount of fibers added to a concrete mix is measured as a ...
An experimental program was directed in this study to evaluate the abrasion resistance of reactive powder concrete (RPC) under direct normal impact of water jet. Abrasion and compressive strength specimens were cast from six RPC mixtures using different single and hybrid distributions of 6 mm-length and 15 mm-length micros-steel fibers and 18 mm-length polypropylene fiber.
As shown in Fig. 10, the abrasion resistance of geopolymer composite is enhanced by the addition of micro carbon fiber. For example, mortars containing RCAs with CFs of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 wt% of the binder had weight loss values 4.4, 13.2, and 10.2% lower (respectively) than that of 100R mixture.
Micro fibers have a diameter that is less than 0.3 mm. Micro fibers are either monofilament or fibrillated. Micro fibers should be used for plastic shrinkage control (cracking that can occur in the first 24 hours of concrete cure), impact protection, and reduction of explosive spalling during a fire.
Feb 01, 2012· Accordingly, the highest resistance to abrasive erosion has the concrete made with the water/cement ratio 0.5 and the addition of F120 type fibers where the value of the abrasion erosion rate is E R = 0.1356, and the lowest the benchmark concrete made with the water/cement ratio 0.7 where the value is E R = 0.1944.
Fibers are usually used in concrete to control cracking due to plastic shrinkage and to drying shrinkage. They also reduce the permeability of concrete and thus reduce bleeding of water. Some types of fibers produce greater impact, abrasion, and shatter resistance in concrete. Larger steel or synthetic fibers can replace rebar or steel ...

Roller-compacted Concrete. Compacted in place and cured, roller-compacted concrete is a zero slump concrete with the abrasion resistance to withstand high velocity water—making it the material of choice for spillways and other infrastructure subject to high flow conditions. It represents a competitive solution in terms of cost and durability ...
Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is characterized by high cementitious material content, very low water to cement ratio and steel micro-fiber reinforcement. This type of cementitious composite has greater ductility, durability and mechanical properties
Abrasion resistance is a property of harden concrete surface to be worn away by abrasive forces. Highly abrasion resistance concrete surfaces are preferred in industry floor and in construction of roads. Aggregates play an important role in strength characteristics of concrete; strength has a decisive influence on abrasion resistance of concrete.
Abrasion resistance of concrete micro-reinforced with polypropylene fibers. ... This paper presents a research of abrasive resistance of classic concrete and micro-reinforced concrete with two types of polypropylene fibers. Water/cement factor was varied from 0.5 to 0.7, while the content (in%) of the remaining components remained constant. ...
They are specifically engineered for use in concrete as secondary reinforcement and controlling plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking. MONO-150 fibers are designed for early crack control but they also do an excellent job of increasing the impact, shatter, and abrasion resistance of the concrete.

This impact and abrasion can be very severe, leading to spalling of the concrete surface. Designers and contractors aiming for maximum impact and abrasion resistance include Crackstop micro fibres on top of Durus EasyFinish structural concrete reinforcement. The Adfil range includes both monofilament and fibrillated synthetic micro fibres.

Mar 08, 2021· In hydraulic structures, abrasion resistance can be a significant driver in concrete specification. Basalt micro-fibres represent a potentially sustainable construction product and have been shown to provide various benefits in concrete, however the implications for hydrodynamic abrasion resistance are to date unclear.

Synthetic micro-fibers. Micro-fibers have a diameter less than 0.3 mm and are either monofilament or fibrillated. Micro-fibers should be used for plastic shrinkage control (cracking that can occur in the first 24 hours of concrete curing), impact protection, and reduction of explosive spalling during a fire.
Micro synthetic fibers provide superior resistance to the formation of plastic shrinkage cracks and extends service life of concrete. Polypropylene micro fibers are used as secondary reinforcement on concrete, plaster, bitumen and pre-cast applications and made of polypropylene.
Fibermesh ® 150F micro fiber is the optimized balance of the best type of fiber and the number of fibers for resistance to explosive spalling.
