Main Benefits of Sika Fiber Reinforced Concrete
There are multiple reasons for adding fibers in concrete. One of the main benefits of fibers are the homogenous distribution in the concrete. Other benefits include:
- Better cohesion of the fresh concrete
- Control and reduce crack sizes due to early-age shrinkage
- Improve flexural and shear strength
- Improve load capacity and ductility
- Increase toughness and abrasion resistance
- Increase resistance to explosive spalling
- Replace or partially replace traditional reinforcing steel
- Save time in the construction process and reduce costs
