A fiber for reinforcing concrete, comprising a length of metal wire with a substantially straight central part and offset anchoring parts at opposite ends, wherein each offset end part comprises an initial straight portion parallel to the central part but offset laterally therefrom, a final straight portion coaxial with the central part, and two opposed oblique portions connecting the initial straight portion to the central part and to the final straight portion respectively.
A metal wire reinforcing fiber comprising:
- a central portion that is substantially straight and has a substantially constant circular cross-section;
- and
- at least one end portion having first and second straight portions, the first portion being parallel to said central portion, the second portion being coaxial with said central portion, the first straight portion being laterally offset from and connected to said central portion by a first oblique portion, the second straight portion being connected to the first straight portion by a second oblique portion, the first oblique portion being opposed to the second oblique portion.
