Concrete Mixed Steel Fibers

Steel fibers today offer the designer and constructer state-of-the-art technology for use as reinforcement in many concrete elements and applications. There are many varieties of styles, shapes and sizes of steel fibers in the market today.

Introducing steel fibers into the concrete mix provide new mechanical properties. We now have a new material, with improved mechanical properties that can enhance structural applications. The fibers can be included as a substitute for the common steel reinforcement, or as a complement, or for a better performance for strain that the common reinforcement can't absorb.

In mechanical and performance terms, by adding steel fibers to the concrete mix you can:

• Increase and get a stable of tensile strength under flexion load, which produces a ductile behavior
• Increase impact resistance
• Increase cyclic loads of resistance (fatigue effect)
• Increase prevention of the plastic shrinkage crack
• Increase the concrete performance against thermal variations
• Get minor permeability

Application:

• Tunneling
• Industrial flooring
• Airport pavements
• Precast
• Pre-compressed concrete

Steel fibers come in carton boxes of 20 kg for easy handling, or in large bags 600kg – 1100kg to use with our dosage machine services.
