Basics

• The Solid Material Added to Concrete
• Also may refer to the materials used in Composite Materials although this is somewhat more technical as typically you just call it what it is such as Fiberglass , Basalt Fiber , or Carbon Fiber , UNLESS you are using this as well as more standard construction aggregate, then this word use makes sense
