The report presents test results from an investigation on the influence of 3 types of the polypropylene fiber FIBERMESH on the plastic shrinkage and cracking tendency of mortar and concrete exposed to early drying. The results reveal that the cracking tendency was considerably reduced even with moderate additions of fiber (1 kg per cubic meter mortar/concrete) and that the favorable effect increased with increasing dosages.
