What is the recommended dosage of macrofibers? A guide to optimizing concrete performance
Macro fiber dosage in reinforced concrete requires a tailored approach, balancing fiber type, concrete grade, and application, with common rates ranging from 0.1% to 3.0% by volume. Optimal usage relies on ensuring mix workability, avoiding fiber clumping, and conducting, at minimum, a 7-day curing process for maximum structural benefits.
