Design With Confidence
Barchip’s macro synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement conforms with international design methodologies and standards from bodies such as DBV, RILEM, CNR, ACI, ITAtech and the UK Concrete Society.
Our experienced team can guide you through the design process, providing comparative analysis, structural design and where appropriate complex finite element analysis (FEA). When you design with Barchip, you design with confidence.
Background information on the use of macro synthetic fiber reinforced concrete is given in; The UK Concrete Society’s TR 65 – Guidance on the use of Macro-synthetic FRC, April 2007.
