Viscosity modifying admixture. (thickener means to improve cohesiveness) Why: fiber creates air bubbles which protect the concrete from fire. Check: they put fiber because if it fails, it takes time because of the fiberous layer that holds it. The type of cement we used in the lab. Fb= fb(kb*kh*ks*kt*kz) fb = bend strength of timber.
