<p>REINFORCEMENT FOR CONCRETE ELEMENTS AND SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS Abstract A reinforced concrete structure (10) comprises: cured concrete; and reinforcement embedded in the concrete, the reinforcement comprising a plurality of loops (11) of string each having curved sections and two spaced longitudinal sections each having ends jointed by the curved sections (14), wherein: the curved sections (14) anchor the string in the concrete such that the string imposes compressive forces on the concrete within the curved sections (14) when the concrete structure is subjected to a load; the loops are arranged such that the loops partially overlap with each other at the curved section, forming a second set of closed loops, the concrete arranged in said second loops being subjected to compressive forces when the concrete structure is subjected to a load; and the string is a composite fibre. 6897270_1</p> |
