Default concrete with fiber

Can one *add* this fibre to ready-mix in bags?
I think Modern Marvels should this fibred-up 'crete--*much* greater bending
w/o cracking.

I would also suggest the steel. Fiber will make the concrete stronger
and in some cases can substitute for steel, but I would still want the
steel. You also may want to check your local codes and they may require
rebar.
