Fibers and their different variables when choosing the right one
Type of application Fiber serves different functions depending on the type of element in which it is used. For pavements, fibers like r hook 50 can replace traditional mesh for covering structural requirements such as bending, punching, and fatigue forces. In the case of shotcrete, which is used in tunnels and slopes, fibers are dosed […]
