Synthetic fibers are used in small amounts (approximately 0.1% by volume of concrete) to reduce plastic shrinkage cracking. Synthetic and metal fibers are used in larger amounts (0.3% or more by volume) to improve flexural strength and toughness, and to control the crack width in hardened concrete. Direct Energy provide AC, Fridge, Microwave, Geyser and Washing Machine Repair Service Centre in Jaipur.
The preliminary role of synthetic fibres is micro-reinforcement. Synthetic fibres when used properly act as crack prevenntion materials, protecting the Plaster/ Concrete from Plastic/ long Term Drying Shrinkage Cracks which helps in improving the life of the structures. Apart from this it has some tremendous following adavatages to give which are mentioned below:- Very high specific surface Very good dispersibility Very good bond Low density Resistance to acids and alkalis Can be used in conventional concrete formulations
