FIBER
The main aim of adding steel fibers to concrete is not only increasing the concrete strength, but also their basic function is crack control of the concrete, these steel fibers modify concrete behavior as soon as cracks begin to happen, the steel fibers build bridges across the cracks and help post crack ductility.
FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY
Nowadays fiber reinforced technology is being used widely and significantly across the world, in infrastructures of almost all countries. In our country, Iran, Cradle of civilization, the construction engineers are using the fiber reinforced technology widely too. Therefore, acquaintance and development of fundamental basics of reinforced concrete which contains fibrous materials that results in its structural integrity is extremely important.
STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE
It has been many years which concrete is being used as a substantial material in building concrete structures, Buildings, bridges, dams, roads, docks, piers, and other specific structures. Ordinary concrete is a brittle material with low tensile strength and low strain strength. Since few decades ago huge work has been done to reinforce concrete with various kinds of fibers. The main aim of adding steel fibers to concrete is not only increasing the concrete strength, but also their basic function is crack control of the concrete, these steel fibers modify concrete behavior as soon as cracks begin to happen, the steel fibers build bridges across the cracks and help post crack ductility.
HISTORY
In not too distant past decades, many cities used to be constructed with adobe construction, plaster, plaster of clay and straw. This knowledge and technology return to 4000 B.C. In the Persia, the Persians were the inventor of fundamental basics of clay and straw mortar buildings that reflects their sophisticated knowledge in construction. Clay and straw mortar are the vintage form of modern fiber reinforced concrete which simply we can observe its traces in archeological sites like third layer of Tepe Sialk, Seventeen palace of Pasargadae, in building and construction Pasargadae and Shush, Parthian Empire constructions (Palace of Ardashir and Taq Kasra) and Arg-e Bam; largest adobe building in the world and plenty of construction to mention, the technology continued to grow and evolve till today.
FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE PERFORMANCE
Along all available various type of fibers in industry which is used for reinforcement, FARATAV steel fibers are the most popular ones. Extraordinary high performance of FARATAV steel fiber reinforced concrete that simply and clearly shows off its great flexural strength and overall strength against the conventional methods of reinforcements. FARATAV steel fiber reinforced concrete has remarkable adaptability and being used exceedingly in modern building and construction industry. FARATAV steel fiber reinforced concrete cause structural integrity of concrete and homogenous distribution of FARATAV steel fibers and random orientation will yield high performance.
