Fiver-reinforce concrete
Fiver-reinforce concrete
(OP)
I have a 4' by 4' by 1' footing to hold a power generator w=220lbs and stands 8ft of the ground. We need to bolt this unit down (hilt bolts) to the footing and I wanted to know if we use Fiver-Reinforce concrete would be better than typical concrete mixture. I'm concerned that the bolts might fail in pull out resistance? If we had a horizontal wind force of 400 lb, does anyone have any recommendations or tips? I'm not sure what the strengths are for Fiver-Reinforce concrete

Seriously though, I do not like it due to the extra finishing required due to all the protruding fiberglass. It can ball up in the mix if not broken up properly, and will decrease the slump, making it harder to pump. I would still use WWF or rebar in the slab.
