Dosed at amounts equivalent to conventional reinforcement, these fibers are distributed three dimensionally throughout the concrete section. Can synthetic fibers compete “head-to-head” with steel?

The reinforcement mesh is cast into concrete, and when the textile-reinforced concrete is loaded, the filaments slip both against the concrete and against each other inside the yarn. A textile ...

The Millhog APS-438 air-powered saw is designed to permit faster concrete pile cutting while minimizing operator fatigue ...

Steel can stretch, adding steel bars gives the concrete some tensile strength to go along with its compressive strength. Rebar also allows for thinner slabs and other members. Rebar or mesh ...

Metal rods, wires or mesh are embedded within the concrete to give it tensile strength. The metal inside the concrete is known as rebar (an abbreviation of “reinforcing bars”), and this ...

The first Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer rebar and mesh has come off the production line at GFRP’s new manufacturing facility in Linbro Park, Gauteng, heralding a new environmentally friendly era for ...

Like reinforced concrete, law and justice are things we take for granted – that is, until things go terribly wrong (Toledot) ...
