Content Description

Cellulose Fiber: Enhancing Sustainability in Concrete, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: SC-EN-146709-0725

Natural fibers have been used for over 2,000 years as a method to strengthen building materials. Cellulose fiber provides an excellent alternative to traditional secondary reinforcement, reducing plastic shrinkage cracks and improving durability, impact resistance, shatter resistance, and freeze/thaw resistance without compromising the appearance or finishability of a concrete surface. This course covers the evolution of fiber, its benefits, and why it is a sustainable material.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain how fibers in concrete eliminate the impact of exposure to freeze/thaw cycles, abrasion, chemicals, and steel corrosion, improving the overall performance and durability of concrete.
  • Contrast the characteristics of cellulose and poly fiber in terms of aesthetics, bond, shrinkage crack reduction, permeability, and strength.
  • State how cellulose fibers enhance the concrete matrix, surface, workability, and appearance of decorative concrete.
  • Explain how cellulose fibers are suitable for sustainable design and construction and how they may contribute toward earning points in the LEED green building program.

Faculty BIO

Jeff Keyes joined Solomon Colors Inc. in 2017 with an extensive background in construction. His experience built the platform for his role as Solomon's National Specifications Manager. Solomon Colors Inc. works with the design community to help create thorough specifications for decorative concrete finishes that meet the design intent as well as demand high quality standards. Keyes has the drive to continue to learn, and the passion to continuously help improve the decorative concrete industry through full collaboration with contractors and architects.
