Concrete Strength with Fibermesh
Concrete Strength with Fibermesh
(OP)
We have several concrete cylinder breaks from a project. Some of the mixes contained fibermesh, while others didn't, but otherwise the mixes were the same. The breaks from the cylinders containing the fibers were noticably higher than those without the fibers.
Will the fibers add appreciably to concrete compressive strength ?

Why did some of the mixes have it and some didn't? Also, the mix designs should be a bit different between fiber and non-fiber as the fiber addition will typically decrease workability, thus some compensation is usually necessary when fiber is added.

You can develop computer programs that will give you any results you like. So everything can work. Doesn't mean that it is correct.

When things are steep, remember to stay level-headed.
