Testing fiber reinforced concrete with an expert

This video puts fiber reinforced concrete to the test by a concrete expert, Tyler Ley, PE, PhD. Fiber reinforced concrete is an under utilized concrete technology. People avoid fiber reinforced concrete because of concerns about how it performs in practice. For example, people often ask:
Do fibers really work?
How do fibers impact your surface finish?
This video shows how different types and dosages of plastic (macrosynthetic) and steel fibers perform in concrete. The testing specifically looks at how the fibers can reduce concrete cracking and impact your surface finish. The video provides practical and easy to implement recommendations for your projects.
