Has anyone studied the use of concrete with fibre glass ans 
reinforcing?  There are a few reports out that the concrete is 
stronger!  The rebar is usually oxidized before the concrete is pured hence 
a poor bond sithe the concrete.  The fibre glass (I think that is the 
strings that is mixed with the concrete) adheres and the mass is much 
stronger as it becomes a solid mass rather than a mass interupted with poor 
iron.

Has anyone anything thereon?
