Is it appropriate to reinforce cellular concrete with synthetic fibers?
Synthetic fiber reinforcement is a mechanical process and does not have any effect on the chemistry of concrete. It is therefore perfectly acceptable to design fiber reinforced cellular concrete. Fiber reinforced cellular concrete is becoming a standard material for roof decks and Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction.

Oil palm fibers are also successfully being added and it produces a very good design mix of 900 kg density per meter cube most suitable for high rise buildings wall panels.
