Resolve – Fiber Reinforced concrete
RESOLVE™ is Cemstone’s Concrete Fiber Reinforcement Matrix
Whether you’re trying to reduce the occurrence of plastic shrinkage cracking or looking to eliminate typical temperature and shrinkage reinforcement, RESOLVE offers versatility to improve the interior and exterior slabs on ground.
This system of synthetic and steel fibers have been selected to offer superior performance when it comes to replacing welded-wire mesh fabric and reinforcing bars for temperature and shrinkage crack control.
Cemstone’s RESOLVE fiber-reinforced concrete can be used to improve everything from driveways, patios and sidewalks to commercial parking lots and interior slabs.
Cemstone’s team of engineers offers RESOLVE conversions to replace reinforcing steel with synthetic or steel fibers.
Benefits include:
- Faster construction times through reduced labor
- Lower construction costs
- Safer project site
- Reduced plastic shrinkage cracks
- Elimination of welded-wire mesh and conventional reinforcing bars used for temperature and shrinkage reinforcement
- Increase in toughness, abrasion and impact resistance

Monofilament Micro Synthetic Fibers
Monofilament Micro Synthetic Fibers
Monofilament Micro-fiber reinforcement reduces plastic shrinkage crack formation and improves the cohesion of the concrete mixture, all of which give you durable, low maintenance concrete.
Uses:
- Commercial and residential exterior and interior slabs-on-ground
- Decorative concrete
- Pools and pool decks
Benefits:
- Excellent reduction in plastic shrinkage cracking
- Measurably reduces plastic settlement
Fibrillated Micro Synthetic Fibers
Fibrillated Micro Synthetic Fiber
Fibrillated Micro-fiber is a plastic shrinkage cracking reinforcement that acts as a replacement for light gauge welded-wire mesh. Micro synthetic fiber reinforcement reduces plastic settlement cracking and improves the cohesion of the concrete mixture, all of which give you durable, low maintenance concrete.
Uses:
- Commercial and residential exterior and interior slabs-on-ground
- Toppings/overlays
Benefits:
- Excellent reduction in plastic shrinkage cracking
- Measurably reduces plastic settlement
- Replacement for light gauge welded-wire mesh (6 x 6 W1.4 x W1.4), depending on the application
Macro Synthetic Fibers
Macro Synthetic Fiber
Like the placement of steel reinforcement, macro synthetic fibers can be placed in concrete to transfer post-crack stress, reduce crack widths, increase impact/abrasion resistance and generally improve the long-term performance of the slabs and walls. Macro synthetic fibers eliminates the need for welded-wire mesh (WWM) and small diameter reinforcing bars used as secondary reinforcement, depending on the application.
Uses:
- Industrial and warehouse floors
- Commercial and residential exterior and interior slabs-on-ground
- Composite metal decks
- Pavements and bridge decks
- Topping/overlays
- Used in Latitude – Cemstone’s Extended Joint Spacing System
Benefits:
- Replaces shrinkage and temperature (secondary) reinforcement
- Reduces construction time and overall labor and material costs
- Increases flexural toughness, impact and shatter resistance
- Reduced crack width
Steel Fibers
Steel Fiber
Steel fibers can be used to replace secondary reinforcement within slabs and walls. In addition, certain applications allow steel fibers to replace primary reinforcement. For horizontal and vertical applications.
Uses:
- Walls
- Foundations
- Paving
Benefits:
- Increases tensile strength
- Increases concrete strain capacity
- Decrease cracking width
- Increases durability in slabs
- Increases modulus of rupture
