Concrete reinforced with fibers (which are usually steel, glass, or plastic fibers) is less expensive than hand-tied rebar, while still increasing the tensile strength many times. The shape, dimension, and length of the fiber are important.
1. ozone hole-an area of the ozone layer (near the poles) that is seasonally depleted of ozone. hole-an opening into or through something. ozone layer, ozonosphere-a layer in the stratosphere (at approximately 20 miles) that contains a concentration of ozone sufficient to block most ultraviolet radiation from the sun.ole-an opening into or through something. ozone layer, ozonosphere-a layer in the stratosphere (at approximately 20 miles) that contains a concentration of ozone sufficient to block most ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
The ozone hole occurs where there is no UV-B to be protected from, but it is an indicator of the overall state of health of the ozone layer. More contaminants = thinner ozone layer overall = larger ozone hole = ozone hole forms sooner = ozone hole heals later.
