Summary of findings on magnetic orientation of fibers in cement composites

This article summarizes the findings in newly developed technology – Magnetic Orientation of Fibers (MOF). New incoming technology MOF can easily and effectively reinforce concrete elements in a specific direction with ferromagnetic fibers using a magnetic field. Using this technology, it is possible to provide the required orientation of steel ferromagnetic fibers in a fresh mixture of High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRC) with the help of a magnetic field. This article aims to inform about the existing research that deals with this technology. It summarizes the experiments performed, the development of magnetic field generation devices and fiber alignment measurement equipment.
