Low Fibre volume composite concrete contains less than 1% fibre. It is used for field applications involving large volumes of concrete. The fibres do not significantly increase the strength of the concrete. Low fibre volume concrete is used for paving roads. High Fibre Volume Concrete: Typically used for thin sheets with cement mortar mix. The fibre volume in this mix ranges from 5% to 15%. High Fibre Volume Composite: The fibre volume in this mix can be as high as 40%. This significantly increases the strength and toughness of the mix. The reinforcement in High Fibre Volume Composite concrete is usually in sheet form. This reinforced concrete type is used in roof and wall panels.
