Abstract
Closed reinforcement fiber package includes a material disintegratable in concrete, such as fiber concrete. Reinforcing fibers are present in a loose form in the package. The reinforcing fibers may be provided in a substantially mutually parallel position in the package. The reinforcement fiber package may be provided in a chain packing or package including a number of such closed reinforcement fiber packages. The reinforcing fibers may be made of steel.
Claims18
A closed reinforcement fiber package, comprising:
- a) a package material which is disintegratable in concrete;
- b) a plurality of reinforcing fibers being provided loosely in the reinforcement fiber package;
- c) the plurality of reinforcing fibers being provided in a substantially mutually parallel position in the reinforcement fiber package;
- d) a length of the respective reinforcing fibers being substantially the same as a length of the package;
- e) the reinforcing fibers being provided lengthwise in the package;
- and
- f) the filling degree of the reinforcing fibers being at least 75% to maintain the mutually parallel position of the plurality of the reinforcing fibers.
