Stop plastic shrinkage cracking with fibers | microsynthetic fibers

Plastic shrinkage cracking occurs when concrete is placed in hot and dry environments. This typically occurs in the summer when placing flatwork or slabs, sidewalks, pavements, and bridge decks. These fibers are unsightly and they decrease the durability of the concrete. This video shows evidence that microsynthetic fibers can be used in low dosages to stop plastic shrinkage cracking in this concrete. This is shown with a novel test setup that uses box fans and heat lamps.
This video is a part of a series of videos that will focus on reducing the cracking within concrete.

I know nothing about concrete, I don’t work with concrete, I have no reason to have any care for concrete

Are you going to make a video on the Florida condo collapse as more data/evidence becomes available?

Before adding fiber I'd reccomend ensuring that the mix design is designed with proper proportions that will reduce shrinkage. Also larger rock will create less shrinkage in a mix. Then chose a day with an appropriate evaporation rate. Micro fiber is definitely a great choice if you have done the above.

I love your energy Dr. ley! I also LOVE concrete. Thank you for being so concise, and articulate. You’ve helped me solve problems time and time again!

I sell to construction project managers three products to prevent plastic shrinkage cracks... They work all the time

You should be required viewing for the employees of every small concrete contractor. I know guys take pride in their work if they get a little knowledge and encouragement. Great stuff!

[@hector.abrach]

Your videos are great! Please keep making them, I'm a builder and I've learned a lot from you. Do you know of any tarps to reduce the rate of loss of humidity when curing?

[@d.l.d.l.8140]

Zero thumbs down? No trolls? Like I said, great stuff.

You're not a concrete freak.

[@bearfoot100]

Yes! Yes! Yes! This was what I was looking for. I've written this into my new house spec. " All Concrete, to have plastic microsynthetic fibers , at the rate of 1lb per cubic yard."

Excellent sir....

Hey Tyler I own a pressure washing company and need to pick your brain on getting deep stains out of slick finished concrete. Everyone in the industry just keeps telling me there’s no way to get the stains out and I feel like there just has to be a way!
