I am adding fibre reinforcement into slender beams which have no room for links (62mm by 125mm - 12mm reinforcement).
Does any one have information on the performance and behaviour of fibre-reinforcement please?

Aramid and glass fibre open weave fabrics have been tried in the past as well. I am unaware of their current status.

For some information on the property enhancement of fiber addition to concrete, check publications of ACI Committee 544 on Fiber "Reinforced" Concrete. Please understand that fiber addition does not "reinforce" concrete in the classic sense of reinforcing steel, but does "reinforce" its properties to some degree.
