PROJECT DESCRIPTION KEY POINTS • Reduced Shrinkage Cracking • Reduced Required Maintenance • Reduced Joints DETAILS Date: 2014 Location: Douglasville, GA Dosage: 7.5 lbs. / cu. yd. Fiber: FORTA-FERRO ® 2-¼” Application: Pavement MCMASTER-CARR - DOUGLASVILLE, GA I 100 Forta Drive, Grove City, PA 16127 I 800-245-0306 I forta-ferro.com I FORTA-FERRO ® PROJECT PROFILE PAVEMENT For McMaster-Carr’s 5,500 cu. yd. distribution center warehouse pavement project the fiber consultant recommended a higher dosage of macro synthetic fibers as a viable method to reduce curling and extend joint spacing, therefore reducing the need for future joint repairs and issues. For this 6 in. thick pavement cross- section, the project engineers specified 7.5 lbs. / cu. yd. of the 2-1/4” FORTA-FERRO ® macro synthetic fiber, and extended joint spacing from the conventional 15 ft. spans to 30 ft. or more, depending on panel and roadway layout dimensions. Even at the higher fiber dosage, FORTA-FERRO ® mixed thoroughly and evenly throughout the concrete, and provided a desirable broom-textured finish with minimal surface-fiber appearance.
