ASTM International’s Committee D13 on Textiles is working on a new standard to help fiber-reinforced concrete production. The Work Item from Subcommittee D13.58 (Yarns and Fibers) is titled “Specification for Polyolefin Chopped Strands for Use in Concrete” and is designated WK18377. It will provide manufacturers of chopped strands intended for concrete application with uniformity in their testing and some minimal specifications to insure suitable quality to the market.
