Doug: Fiber reinforced concrete is not, in my professional opinion, going to provide any advantage in real terms for its additional cost for a tower foundation. The biggest benefit it would provide i

I haven't had concrete fiber in a tower base but it is in my new driveway. A tree fell on my new garage last June, meaning a roof and wall replacement (one wall). So the new fiber driveway had a dump

I would use it for my next driveway/slab. I would NOT use it for a tower base. Not only is it a waste of money, it is not appropriate for a tower base since the specs for a tower base do not call for

I worked with concrete contractors for years. They said the "engineers" love it, but the people who deal with it day in and day out said it does NOTHING for the concrete. They said, and I witnessed,

The County required the fiber for the house slab, they also required 3500PSI. While they were here we had them pour the tower base, driveway slab, and 18" sills around the house (so water off the ro
