How to Save Money When Buying Crimped Steel Fiber

Significant time and cost savings

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit well.

The use of steel fibre reinforced concrete can result in significant project savings in both time and cost.

Steel fibre reinforced concrete can save up to 60% on installation time compared to traditional reinforcement, and up to 20% on cost.

Benefits of using steel fibre reinforced concrete

> Optimisation of concrete slab thickness
> Traditional reinforcement can be totally or partially replaced
> Potential to eliminate all saw-cut joints
> Faster concreting allowing higher volume of pouring areas per day with fewer joints
> Direct pouring from concrete truck with no pumping required
> Enables easier concreting
> Increased safety on-site

Fiber performance is influenced by three characteristics; tensile strength, aspect ratio (calculated as the length/diameter) and anchorage (hooked, crimp, emboss, fibrillation, etc.). One characteristic does not outweigh another; all three items have to work together for optimal performance.

Fiber reinforced concrete is a composite material and therefore, all fibers are tested in the concrete to prove their performance.

The fibers then provide ductility and support by bridging cracks and thus providing post crack strength to the concrete. Fibers begin to function in a structural supportive manner when the concrete matrix starts to crack, just like traditional reinforcement. The crack has to occur for the load to switch from the concrete to the reinforcement.
