Fibre-reinforced concrete - steel (fibre-reinforced concrete production)

The activity generating the emissions is fibre-reinforced concrete production, steel. The reference product is fibre-reinforced concrete, steel. The product "fibre-reinforced concrete" represents concrete with its mortar matrix reinforced with short fibres. The diameter of these fibres may vary from several micrometers to ca. 1 mm and the length from a few millimetres to 50 or 60 mm. High-strength steel fibres are used in fibre-reinforced shotcrete, and alkali-resistant glass fibres are sometimes used in thin shells or cladding elements. New types of organic fibres are being tested as substitutes for asbestos. Fibre-reinforced concrete has good ductility in both compression and tension. Problems in manufacturing fibre-reinforced concrete are the limited workability of the fresh concrete and the diminished effectiveness of the fibres because of insufficient bonding between fibre and matrix. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
