31.01.2014· Any fibres that are used in concrete must be alkaline resistant otherwise the cement will erode the fibres and the structural integrity of the component will be lost. Using fibres can reduce the workability of the concrete mix as the fibres prevent the concrete from flowing as easily and make it slightly more difficult to mix, pour, and place. Fibres can be expensive so in some cases it may be
