What Are Macro Synthetic Fibers? A Complete Engineering Guide
Macro synthetic fibers are high-strength polymer fibers used to improve toughness, crack resistance, and durability in concrete. This engineering guide explains what qualifies as macro fibers, how they transfer post-crack loads, the mechanisms behind fiber bridging, and why they are increasingly used in industrial floors, tunnel shotcrete, and precast production to replace welded wire mesh or reduce steel fiber dependency.
