Abstract
Disclosed is a method of mixing fiber reinforced concrete without the formation of fiber balls therein. The method includes the steps of depositing a uniform layer of substantially individual concrete reinforcing fibers on an elongated web, coiling the web to contain the fibers, locating the coiled web in proximity to a concrete mixing device, and progressively uncoiling the web at a predetermined rate to discharge the layer of fibers therefrom into the mixer. Also disclosed is a unique package for concrete reinforcing fibers for use in connection with the above method.
