  • Micro-rebar concrete reinforcement system
    Patent number: 9440881
    Abstract: A method for designing and manufacturing micro reinforced concrete that produces a composite material that shares physical properties with both the reinforcing material and the concrete. Micro reinforced concrete is a two-part system that made of micro reinforcements, which are twisted steel fibers, and a concrete matrix. The micro reinforcements are added at a specified dose to an ordinary concrete matrix to create the micro reinforced concrete.

  • CONCRETE REINFORCING FIBERS
    Publication number: 20150184318
    Abstract: A method of making a fiber (100) that includes continuously receiving a round wire (10), forming the round wire into a fiber having to have a cross-sectional shape defining a truncated circle having an aspect ratio of between 1.53 and 1.88, and simultaneously pulling and twisting the fiber a threshold number of twists per inch while retaining the aspect ratio of the fiber.
