When the data is expressed as a percentage of a <br /> control test, this parameter can then be used in estimating the potential <br /> performance of most any Portland Cement concrete containing the same addition <br /> rate of FIBERMESH. <br /> The following comparisons are based on ready-mix concrete which contained <br /> 5 sacks of 94 pounds each (42.7 kg) of cement per cubic yard (6.5 sacks per <br /> cubic meter), 3/4" (19 mm) max. aggregate, and a W/C ratio of 0.64. The control <br /> set of specimens were cast first; then 1.5/lbs./cubic yard (890 grams per cubic <br /> meter) of polypropylene fiber was added and mixed for five minutes before the <br /> second set of specimens were made. Concrete slumps were: <br /> Control Concrete = 5-1/2"(140mm) <br /> FIBERMESH Concrete = 4-3/4"(121mm) <br /> Specific variations from the above mix will be noted. <br /> Compressive Strength, psi (N/mm2) <br /> RELATIVE Individual Average Percent <br /> EN G I N E E R I N G DATA 28 DaysControl 0 Ib/yd.3890(27.229) 0 <br /> 3920(27.439) 3905(27.334) 0 <br /> I.
