Where can I find Polypropylene Fiber for concrete?
I'm looking for a website in UK or even better, a shop in the Manchester area, who sells Polypropylene Fiber for concrete reinforcement. Otherwise anywhere in the world if I have to!

I have had this problem in the end we found that talking to a concrete suppler was the only way to buy the bags of this stuff Other than that it can be ordered from the USAWhere can I find Polypropylene Fiber for concrete?

Try this person from the same company we buy poly fiber from in the US: Gavin Bailey European Sales Manager - International Divison Propex House 9 Royal Court Basil Close, Chesterfield Derbyshire, UK S41 7SL Phone: 011 44 1246 564200 Ext 217 Fax: 011 44 1246 564201 Zip Codes Serviced: Email: gavin.bailey@propexinc.co.ukIs it to late to plant pole beans in Iowa zone 5?
I have never planted pole beans. Thought I would give it a try. I have a tomato cage made out of concrete reinforcement wire to plant them around. Should I try it, and how far apart should I plant them. The package doesn't have instructions since they are bulk beans.

1. It's not too late. (It's creeping towards too late for me, but I'm a zone south of you.) 2. Tomato cages aren't big enough. (Tomato cages aren't usually big enough for tomatoes either. lol) They grow tall. Do you have enough space to grow them? I don't (which is why I go for bush beans.) 3. Lessons on how to do it - http://www.veggiegardener.com/how-to-plant-pole-beans/What plant is used to construct a basement raft foundation?
For a college assignment (construction management) we have been asked to find out what plant would be used to create a raft foundation for a basement car park. My initial thought is concrete mixers and the various pumps and booms used to transport the stuff to the excavation but then I'm strating to think about the concrete reinforcement - what would that need? Crane perhaps? what about cutting equipment?? Aggh! Answers greatly appreciated :)

Question answered by Ishfaq A
Second and third answers are helpful to you, the missing info is the water proofing membranes and Vapour barriers. You need to contact a laboratory to make certain tests, for soil compaction, soil protector test , slump test and cube or cylinder tests for RCC. You have to do a soil investigation test and related water table level as well.How to calculate most economical section of RCC structure?
There is some relation between the weight and rate of concrete and reinforcement used in the structures like beams and columns.If any engineer or architect is aware,then kindly let me know the same.

Question answered by Sergio M
yes, there is, it varies upon the type of section and the forces it withstands. I recommend you Reinforced Concrete Structures: A fundamental Approach, by Edward G. Nawy, you´ll find all the info u need right there.why do steel bars for concrete reinforcement have circular cross section ?
Concrete rebars have circular cross section with ribs. Is there a reason for having circular cross section ?
Rami
Question answered by handsome
Yes there is a good reason, the circular shape of the re bar provide more surface bond with the concrete and better tensile force along the barCan rail road tracks be melted down and remolded to be used as structural reinforcement bars for concrete.?
I have a deal on 360,000 tons of rail road steel tracks (scrap metal) with a very good price. Yet I need to know if I can take them to a factory that melts them and remolds them to structural reinforcement steel bar for concrete reinforcement. I read some where that there is an ASTM for such thing ASTM A996. If it is possible how can I find such factory? and how much does this would cost per metric ton? How much steel is wasted during the process? Thank you

Question answered by mariskalen kampf Strudl v.Wurst!
You should try to sell them as scrap. If you want to get into the steel business, you should shop for reinforcement bars separately and negotiate a price. Steel mills produce different kinds of steel according to global market demand. No point in having a "special order" which is always more expensive. .How long would it take for concrete to cure in an area..?
How long would it take concrete (with fiber reinforcement) to cure in an area of 120 by 120ft with 5 in thickness?

Question answered by TomG
@BillRuss: It does not depend on air temperature. Concrete curing is not a result of evaporation and the slower it is allowed to "dry", the stronger it will be. The best concrete cure is to keep it immersed in water for at least 7 days. This allows the concrete to build the necessary lattice that is what gives it it's strength. Paint drying depends on temperature, but concrete "curing" does not... in fact too hot and the concrete will not properly cure. Too cold, and the same problem. Concrete continues to cure and gain strength. Hoover Dam is still curing and becoming stronger... it was built 80 years ago.Does mudjacking concrete work, or is it more cost effective to re-pave?
I have some slopped concrete that I would one day like to get fixed. I'm wondering if mudjacking works, or if I'd be better off just re-paving the concrete instead. One contractor told me that mud jacking is very expensive and just a short-term fix.

Question answered by mcclintockdj
Mudjacking would be used for foundation repair. If that is what you need, go for it. If not, tear it and repave it, make sure your base is compacted firm and not too wet, use a low water cement ratio, and utilize rebar for extra reinforcement.What are ways to prevent cracking on suspended concrete floors?
We install concrete main deck floors (so essentially suspended). So these floors are 3-4" concrete slabs on a floor truss system. We have seen a few issues with the concrete cracking and thus spider web cracking flooring (tile). Some say using concrete with higher PSI will help, some disagree. What can we do to avoid this cracking? Higher PSI? Less water mixed? Etc, etc. Thanks!
Seth
Question answered by plastic
It depends on the cause of the cracking. A higher f'c concrete would provide some resistance to cracking but if it's cured too fast, it can cause cracks. Make sure you have adequate reinforcement. Prestressing and using 5000 psi concrete is probably the best solution.
