The video above is about the casting of steel fiber reinforced concrete. In the casting, they are also using steel rebar for an even higher resistance to stresses. I wanted to show a video like this for one reason. That reason is that, the fibers don't change much for the casting of concrete forms. When pouring the concrete into the cast, it still acts somewhat fluid, like standard concrete, and allows for the ability to mold to any shape that is needed for the structure. This is very important since, in every aspect except for cost, the fiber reinforced concrete is a feasible replacement to standard concrete and, due to its higher strength, is an even better material to use in the near future.
