RE: Size effect - Fibrous concrete
If that is the case, DO NOT believe anything you hear from a fiber supplier about reducing the amount of rebar with the use of fiber. THAT DOES NOT WORK AND IS DANGEROUS!!
Fiber only enhances the concrete mix, giving it slightly better properties for some applications. It should never be considered to replace rebar.

the fibres will obviously help with flexure, but i've been asked to look into size effect. Is that clearer?
