About this event
Traditional rebar-based reinforcement is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and often over-designed, especially under today’s pressure for sustainable, cost-efficient construction. In this joint webinar, ClearCalcs and Forta will show how advanced fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) systems are replacing or reducing steel across slabs, footings, precast, and more.
You’ll walk away with the knowledge to design more efficiently, reduce cracking, meet code requirements, and streamline your workflow—without compromising safety or durability.
You’ll get immediate value if you're a structural engineer or designer who:
- Spends too much time detailing rebar in slabs or foundations
- Struggles with cracking in early-age concrete or durability concerns
- Wants to simplify designs without sacrificing performance
- Needs to comply with AS 3600 or ACI 318 using performance-based design provisions
- Is exploring sustainable materials to reduce embodied carbon in concrete structures
In this webinar, we will cover:
- How to design smarter with FRC: Performance-based building codes enable innovative construction methods, and Forta’s fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) solutions demonstrate how alternative materials and methods can enhance modern concrete infrastructure.
- Why engineers are switching from steel to fibers: Advanced fiber technologies – like Forta-Ferro and Helix Micro Rebar – are examples of macrosynthetic and steel fibers that reduce cracking, enhance durability, and replace or reduce traditional steel reinforcements.
- Variety of structural applications: Forta’s fiber systems extend beyond typical pavement use to applications such as slabs, walls, precast, foundations and more – delivering sustainability, cost-efficiency, and long-term resilience.
