Why concrete is strong in compression and weak in tension?

Concrete is strong in compression, as the aggregate efficiently carries the compression load. However, it is weak in tension as the cement holding the aggregate in place can crack, allowing the structure to fail. Reinforced concrete solves these problems by adding metal reinforcing bars, glass fiber, or plastic fiber to carry tensile loads


How do you slump test fiber concrete?

To perform a slump test on fiber-reinforced concrete, first prepare a standard slump cone and ensure it is clean and moist. Fill the cone with the concrete in three layers, each compacted with a rod to remove air pockets. After leveling the top, carefully lift the cone straight up to allow the concrete to settle. Measure the vertical distance between the original height of the cone and the highest point of the settled concrete to determine the slump value.

Will a stud detector work for concrete fiber walls?

No, a typical stud detector will not work for concrete fiber walls because they are designed to detect wooden studs, not concrete or metal. You will need a specialized detector that can detect changes in density for concrete walls.
