Steel fibre reinforcement used for enhancing toughness and impact resistance of concrete.

Steel fibre reinforced concrete is a castable or sprayable composite material of hydraulic cements, fine and/or coarse aggregates with discrete steel fibres of rectangular cross-section randomly dispersed throughout the matrix.
Steel fibres strengthen concrete by resisting tensile cracking. Fibre reinforced concrete has a higher flexural strength than that of unreinforced concrete and concrete reinforced with welded wire fabric. But unlike conventional reinforcement – which strengthens in one or possibly two directions – Steel fibres reinforce isotropically, greatly improving the concrete’s resistance to cracking, fragmentation, spalling and fatigue.

Ground Floor Slabs and Concrete Paving

How they save time & money

Completely eliminate steel fabric reinforcement: saving on both materials and labour
Reduce slab thickness: saving in concrete and placement costs.
Possibilities of wider joint spacing: saving on joint forming costs and joint maintenance
Simplicity of construction: simpler joints and no more errors in steel fabric positioning.
Increase speed of construction: saving time and reducing costs.

Technical and User Benefits

Significantly reduced risk of cracking.
Reduced spalling joint edges.
Stronger joints.
High impact resistance.
Greater fatigue endurance.
Reduced maintenance costs.
Longer useful working life
