A fiber-reinforced concrete-like material product includes a plurality of fibers containing an effective amount of at least one antimicrobial agent to inhibit organisms and protect the concrete from biological attack. Preferably, the antimicrobial agents are added to the fibers prior to the fibers being dispersed in the concrete. Such a concrete product containing antimicrobial-enhanced fibers simultaneously inhibits organisms from biological attack, reduces plastic shrinkage cracking of the concrete and improve post-peak flexural strength of the concrete.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for inhibiting organisms throughout a concrete product comprising the steps of:introducing at least one antimicrobial agent to a plurality of fibers; andsubsequently distributing said fibers throughout the concrete product during formation of the concrete product, thereby uniformly dispersing said antimicrobial agent throughout said the concrete product.
