New CPD: Fibre Forward with Sika: Turning Reinforcement Theory into Concrete Practice
Overview
This CPD explores the practical use and benefits of fibre reinforced concrete in modern construction. Delivered by Sika’s National Fibre Manager, the session introduces fibre types, design principles, fire performance, and how fibres can be used as an alternative or enhancement to traditional reinforcement methods.
With a blend of theory, case studies, and live software demonstration, this course is ideal for engineers, specifiers, designers, and contractors looking to deepen their understanding of this sustainable and efficient reinforcement solution.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the difference between traditional reinforcement and fibre technologies
- Identify various fibre types and their performance characteristics
- Learn how fibre reinforcement supports fire resistance, crack control, and durability
- Explore application methods in key structural systems including slabs, decks, tunnels, and sprayed concrete
- Use Sika’s design software to determine fibre dosage and optimise specifications
- Review relevant standards and technical guidance
