CONSTRUCTION PROCESS SIMPLIFIED WITH IMPROVED CRACK CONTROL AND ENHANCED EDGE PROTECTION

HUGE TIME SAVING WITH REDUCED COST AND OMITTING REINFORCEMENT MISTAKES

Steel fibre reinforced concrete can be the ideal solution to replace traditional reinforcement by offering faster construction where no reinforcement drawings are required. Considerable time and cost savings are primary advantages that make innovative construction with steel fibres in residential construction especially attractive. Steel Fiber higher resistance to tearing and improved contraction behaviour help keep shrinkage cracks to a minimum. Steel fibre reinforced concrete can be used to construct basement walls. The only traditional reinforcement required is connecting bars or meshes between the walls and the slab. Using SFRC reduces the setup time before the concrete is placed. In areas with poor ground conditions, SFRC can be used to construct a pile supported ground floor slab

RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION

ELEVATED SLAB

  • Steel fibers provide an ideal form of crack control

IN SITU CAST ELEVATED SLAB

  • Steel fibre reinforced concrete can be used to construct a free suspended elevated floor slab

SCREED TOPPINGS

  • The steel fibre reinforced concrete improves the shrinkage behaviour and the crack control of the screed toppings

STRIP AND SINGLE FOUNDATION

  • Especially beneficial in cases where foundation lines change direction

WALLS

  • Steel fibre reinforced concrete can be used to construct basement walls. The only traditional reinforcement required is connecting bars or meshes between the walls and the slab
