Abstract
A method of obtaining a fibre-reinforced concrete with high strength and low volume weight. The concrete mixture has greater mechanical strength properties than those of a standard concrete and a lower volume weight. The invention comprises a matrix of cement, water and fibres, preferably glass-fibre waste, to reinforce the stone aggregates. The formulation comprises a type of concrete that is different from those currently available, owing to the formulation, mixture and novel mechanical behaviour thereof.

A formulation for obtaining a fibre-reinforced concrete mixture of high mechanical resistance and low volumetric weight comprising a matrix of cement, water and fibres, wherein the fibres function as reinforcement for aggregates in the concrete, said formulation comprising:
- cement in an amount of from about 10% up to about 72% by total weight of concrete;
- water in an amount of from about 4% up to about 37% by weight of cement;
- and
- fibres in an amount of from about 0.5% up to about 40% by weight of cement.
