A method includes the steps of (a) providing a flow of a flowable substance, the flow comprising bulk material and additional material; (b) determining the volume flow of the flow of the flowable substance at one or more detection points X along the flow of the flowable substance; (c) determining a signal caused by the additional material present in the flow of the flowable substance at one or more detection points Y along the flow of the flowable substance, the signal being proportional to the amount of the additional material present in the flow of the flowable substance passing the one or more detection points Y; and (d) converting the signal caused by the additional material present in the flow of the flowable substance into a signal per unit of volume of the flow of the flowable substance.

Method to determine or monitor the amount or the distribution of additional material present in a flow of a flowable substance

Masonry () comprising layers () of bricks and mortar joints (), whereby at least one mortar joint () is reinforced by a reinforcement strip (), whereby said strip () comprises at least two straight, continuous, substantially parallel, steel reinforcement wires (), which are welded or glued to each other by means of a steel wire connecting structure (), characterized in that the wire connecting structure () is provided with protuberances () protruding from the plane comprising said at least two straight reinforcement wires () and forming spacing elements () which keep the at least two straight reinforcement wires () at a specific distance from the layer () of bricks below and/or the layer () of bricks above said reinforcement strip ().

The invention relates to an assembly of fibers () for concrete with RFID markers () or any other type of marker which can provide the information 'I am here' and to a concrete or concrete structure () comprising fibers for reinforcement or any other purposes with RFID markers. The invention also relates to a method for determining the type and amount of fibers for the manufacturing of fiber concrete and to a method for determining the type, content and/or distribution of fibers within a fiber concrete with the help of the RFID markers.
