Fiber Reinforcement

Fiber Reinforcement

(OP)
I want to replace traditional steel mesh reinforcement with steel fibres for concrete slab work. Is there any software available, or hardcopy guides available that will tell me the kg/m3 required to replace a particular type of mesh or reinforcement. I'd like to get something a little more independent than the fiber suppliers own anaylsis.

RE: Fiber Reinforcement

You might start by checking out the thread in the Concrete Engineering Forum.  Posted by IJR (Structural)- originally on Feb. 19, 2001, entitled, "How much reinf. in slabs on grade".  This is an excellent discussion, and includes some excellent words of experience by Ron and JAE, among others, about the very important question you are asking. Check it out.

This website contains already the nucleus of a wonderful resource for us - I feel very lucky to have found it - and to be able to benefit from this vast pool of serious experience and knowledge.  wow.
