Synthetic fibrous reinforcement shall be used in the areas denoted in plans, and shall comply with the following fiber characteristics:
- Configuration: Fiber shall be in fibrillated network form.
- Chemistry: Fiber shall be made of 100% virgin materials in the form of fully-oriented polypropylene, tan in color.
- Contents: Fibers shall be used at a minimum dosage rate of 1.6 lbs per cubic yard of concrete (1 kg per cubic meters of concrete).
- Correct Length: Fiber length shall be a minimum of 3/4 in (19 mm). Longer length fibers shall be used based on the top size of the mix coarse aggregate (per ASTM C-33) as follows:
Aggregate Top Size | Fiber Length |
---|
1/4 in | (6 mm) | 3/4 in | (19 mm) |
1/2 in | (13 mm) | 1-1/2 in | (38 mm) |
3/4 in | (19 mm) | 2-1/4 in | (54 mm) |
1+ in | (25+ mm) | 2-1/2 in | (60 mm) |
Compliance: Fibers shall comply with ASTM C-1116 “Standard Specification for Fiber Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete” and applicable national building code. The approved product is FORTA® Ultra-Net® as manufactured by FORTA Corporation, Grove City, PA, U.S.A.
