Fiberstone, also known as fiber stone, is made from a mixture of fiberglass and crushed stone (usually limestone). Sand, metal fiber, and other heavy elements are sometimes added to the mixture to provide weight and strength. Fiberstone planters offer a natural stone look and additional durability compared to other planter materials.
Understanding ACI 544.4 R-18 Guide to Design with Fiber Reinforcing Concrete provides easy-to-follow design guidelines for fiber-reinforcing concrete in structural and nonstructural applications. In addition, ASTM C1609/C1609M can be used to compare synthetic fibers and welded wire reinforcement.
The study by Jamshaid et al. (2022) revealed that the energy absorption capacity of concrete composites improved with increasing plant-fiber content and that the dynamic mechanical properties of plant-fiber-reinforced concrete were significantly better than those of plain concrete (Bhogayata and Arora, 2018).
The lignocellulosic plant-based fibres are effectively utilized as reinforcement in low-volume road construction [3, 4]. It is also reported the use of natural lignocellulose fibres for concrete reinforcement, drainage system erosion control of the river banks and for the stabilization of embankments and slopes .

Cement and concrete are commonly mistaken for each other, but it's important to know which is which. To help you remember, we're detailing the differences: cement vs. concrete.
These positive attributes of natural plant fibres in thermal and energy performance have shown their significance impact on composite concrete materials. Thus, the natural plant fibres could be considered as a feasible replacement for artificial fibres to enhance the insulation, thermal and energy behavior of 3DPC material. 3.4.
Mixing Techniques for Fibre-Reinforced Concrete. Integrating fibres into concrete requires meticulous attention to ensure uniform distribution and optimal performance. Achieving a homogenous mix is paramount, as uneven dispersion can lead to weak points and diminished structural benefits. The choice of mixing technique can greatly influence the ...
The reinforcement by plant fibres in concrete is one of promising approaches to decarbonise concrete. This paper combines scientometric and manual analysis to study the research progress on plant fibre reinforced concrete (PFRC), revealing the development scale, the prevailing research domains and focuses on PFRC and the knowledge progress of PFRC.
However, with the progress of science and technology (loom, steam engine, development of cotton harvesting and processing technique and others), materials such as metals, ceramics, glass, polymers, stones and concrete were preferred to plant resources. In 1900, fiber plants experienced their lowest implantation in terms of surface area.
Plant fibers have high potential to be used in cement-based concrete, reducing the carbon footprint and supporting a "go green" approach. Natural fiber can not only enhance the …

In recent years, plant fibres have become an important class of reinforcing materials [15], [16], [17].The total consumption of biodegradable materials is forecasted to grow at an average annual rate of nearly 13%, which are accounted as the major global markets for materials' consumption [18].However, high price and limited properties of the fully degradable …
Advantages Of Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) Fibre reinforced concrete takes an age-old principle of using plant and animal fibres to reinforce a composite material, and has been in use since the 1960s. Adding structural doses of certain FCS fibres to concrete mixes significantly improves their structural integrity and resilience.
Researchers use agricultural fiber in concrete instead of synthetic fibers to offset this deficiency. Although, several studies have shown that agricultural fiber may be utilized to increase concrete tensile strength.
