Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Steel fibres can be incorporated into our concrete mixes to significantly improve mechanical performance. Acting as a form of reinforcement, the fibres bridge cracks and absorb stress — particularly after cracking, where traditional concrete typically fails.

For applications requiring high structural performance, improved load-bearing capacity, fatigue resistance, impact resistance, and crack control, steel fibres are a highly effective solution.

They are widely used in our BreedonFlow® range of concretes, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional reinforcement by reducing labour time and material costs.

Macro synthetic fibres can be incorporated into the majority of our concrete mix designs to provide structural reinforcement. They are added to enhance the concrete’s mechanical performance, particularly its post-crack strength, and are resistant to corrosion, making them well-suited for use in high-chloride environments such as marine applications.

These fibres are primarily used as an alternative to traditional steel reinforcement, such as crack control mesh, especially in applications where ease of placement, speed of construction, and effective crack control are key considerations.
