• When concrete is first placed, moisture will evaporate from the surface faster than within the mass of the concrete. As the surface begins to cure faster than the concrete below the surface, tensile stresses build up and shallow microscopic cracks develop in random directions.br /br /If allowed to develop without restraint, these cracks can grow wider and lengthen to become major aesthetic and functional problems.br /br /Cracks also occur due to excessive flexural stresses brought on by bending when spanning distances. These cracks are considered structural failure cracks and are wider and predictablebr /br /strongFibre/strongstrong reinforcing is very good in restricting the initial shrinkage cracking that occurs in the initial stages./strongbr /br /strongFibre/strongstrong reinforcing has no impact on the air content of concrete compared to the same sample of /strongstrongnon-fibre/strongstrong concrete, but the impact on slump is significant./strong

• Fiber-reinforced concrete enhances the durability of concrete by reducing crack width typically due to plastic shrinkage, long term drying shrinkage and thermal changes. Because concrete cannot be prevented from cracking, the goal is to keep the cracks tightly closed in order to maintain long-term durability.
