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.
Join Dylan Field, Sales Engineer, Helix Steel and Paige Beichner, Sales Engineer, Forta on Tuesday June 24th, 2025, from 1 pm to 2 pm Eastern Time (ET) to learn more about how advanced fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) systems are replacing or reducing steel across slabs, footings, precast, and more.
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 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.
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.
