What we can do for you

Let us design your future structural concrete element, using polypropylene fibers instead of conventional reinforcement.

greenSlab

Large area ground supported slabs. Can be reinforced with polypropylene fiber reinforcement alone, or in combination with steel reinforcement. Eliminate or reduce conventional steel mesh.

greenPad

In-situ cast point foundations. Can be reinforced with polypropylene fiber reinforcement alone, or in combination with steel reinforcement. Say goodbye to steel cages.

greenStrip

Continuous in-situ cast strip foundations. Can be reinforced with polypropylene fiber reinforcement alone, or in combination with steel reinforcement. Remove those steel bars!

greenSection

Investigate your cross section with any section forces in different limit states. Using polypropylene fiber reinforcement can help you reduce both the longitudinal reinforcement and stirrups. This program can help you reduce as much steel as possible in virtually any application.

greenRetain

In-situ cast or precast retaining walls. Using polypropylene fiber reinforcement can help you reduce the amount of steel reinforcement in both the wall and bottom plate. Farewell double mesh and horizontal steel bars.

greenBeam

In-situ or precast beams or wall lintels. Using polypropylene fiber reinforcement can help you reduce the longitudinal reinforcement and remove all stirrups. Nobody likes stirrups.

greenPlate

Floor separation plates or self-bearing slabs. Using polypropylene fiber reinforcement can help you get rid of some of the statically unused steel reinforcement. Farewell double mesh.

greenWall

In-situ cast or precast walls and basement walls. Using polypropylene fiber reinforcement can help you reduce the amount of steel reinforcement. The double mesh can be reduced to a single mesh, while perhaps also removing all horizontal steel bars.

PPCD stands for Polypropylene Concrete Designs. Polypropylene is the plastic material of which the fibers are made.

Until recently, polypropylene fibers and fibers in general have been widely used as an addition to conventional steel reinforcement to reduce plastic shrinkage, i.e. not as structural reinforcement. Those times are changing. Using data from standardized tests, the material properties of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete can now be used to design just about any concrete structural element.

Polypropylene fibers can indeed be used instead of steel fibers. Even with several advantages, such as easier pumping, no corrosion and no pointy ends.

Polypropylene fibers can in many cases completely substitute conventional steel reinforcement. In those cases where the fibers simply do not have enough strength, the whole design can be reevaluated (higher concrete quality, larger concrete element, etc.) or we can at least reduce the amount of steel.

Using the Finite Element Method, we can design just about anything. So are you in the business of e.g. precast element of irregular shapes, please contact us. Otherwise, the listed services are a good starting point.
