What is Fibre-Reinforced Concrete?
Fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) is composed of cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, water and specially designed fibres. They are made from materials such as steel, glass, synthetic or natural fibres, and are added to the concrete mix to improve its mechanical properties and performance.
Benefits of Fibre-Reinforced Concrete
Unmatched Strength and Durability
One of the main benefits of fibre-reinforced concrete is its exceptional strength and durability. The addition of fibres to concrete improves its resistance to cracking, impact and aging. They act as reinforcement, effectively filling any cracks that may occur, preventing their propagation and increasing the concrete’s overall toughness.
This remarkable feature ensures that structures built with fibre-reinforced concrete can withstand heavy loads, seismic activity and harsh environmental conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
A Flexible, Easy-to-Handle Concrete
Fibre-reinforced concrete also offers greater flexibility and workability than conventional concrete. The inclusion of fibres in the mix enables better control of concrete behaviour during pouring and curing. The result is reduced shrinkage and cracking, making it easier to achieve precise shapes and designs.
If you need to build complex architectural elements, fibre-reinforced concrete offers the versatility and workability you need.
When to use Fibre Reinforced Concrete?
At Groupe Bellemare, we recognize that every project has unique requirements. That’s why we offer fibre-reinforced concrete in a variety of shapes and compositions to meet your specific needs. Our product range covers a wide variety of applications, such as for:
Structural Elements: Fibre-reinforced concrete can be used for the construction of beams, columns, slabs and other components. Its high strength and resistance to cracking make it an excellent choice for demanding structural applications.
Paving, Sidewalks and Roads: Fibre-reinforced concrete is often used in the construction of pavements, pavers and roads. Its ability to withstand heavy traffic loads, resist fatigue and reduce cracking ensures long-lasting, low-maintenance pavements.
Prefabricated Elements: Its improved workability and durability enable the creation of complex shapes, making it perfect for architectural facades and decorative elements of all kinds.
Tunnel Linings: The exceptional toughness and durability of fibre-reinforced concrete make it an excellent choice for tunnel linings. It can withstand high pressure, ensuring the safety and longevity of underground structures.
Repairs: Fibre reinforced concrete is also used in the repair and restoration of damaged structures. By adding fibres to the concrete to be repaired, its strength and ability to withstand mechanical stress are improved, extending the life of existing structures and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
