Concrete Solutions Datasheet STEEL FIBRE CONCRETE With CEMEX Readymix you can be assured of getting the best range of concrete solutions, specifically designed to high specifications for various end uses. Steel Fibre Concrete utilises steel fibres designed to provide ultimate performance under intense loading conditions. • Jointless floors This fibre system provides superior resistance to cracking in hardened state concrete, as well as maximum resistance to damage from heavy impact and dynamic loading. • Heavy duty flooring applications – internal & external • Civil engineering applications • Composite metal decks Hardened state advantages Feature Increases flexural toughness / residual strength. Increased load bearing capacity of concrete. Potential reduction of concrete slab depth. Provides post-crack performance. Concrete retains load carrying capability after cracking has occurred. Increased impact and abrasion resistance. Increased durability and reduced maintenance costs. Other fibre concrete available from CEMEX: • Polypropylene Fibre Concrete • Advanced Polypropylene Fibre Concrete CEMEX UK Materials Ltd National Technical Centre, The Old Cement Works, Long Itchington, Southam, Warwickshire CV47 9RA.

Features and Benefits (continued) Working improvements Q. Can steel fibres be used in structural concrete? No requirement for crack control steel mesh. No need to purchase and store additional material. No delays to fast track schedule. Easier positioning of joints. Concrete placement and crack control in ONE operation. Reduced site labour requirement for on-site handling and cutting of steel reinforcement. No secondary steel mesh is required and reinforcement is automatically positioned. Cost effective alternative to conventional steel mesh reinforcement. Reduced project costs. NOTES: 1. Effective...
