Fibre Reinforced Concrete
- Tab-deck™
Due
to continuing developments with fibre reinforced concrete,
it is rapidly becoming an intrinsic part of composite
metal deck floor construction. Using the ‘Tab-deck™’
system removes the need for traditional mesh reinforcement
with all its associated problems of handling, storage
and safety. Steel fibre reinforced concrete is a composite
material formed by adding steel fibres into the concrete
mix (either at the batching plant or on site) prior
to pouring of concrete.
The addition of steel fibres turns the normally brittle
concrete into a more ductile material with greater load
carrying capacity. The three dimensional nature of the
steel fibre provides excellent crack control.
Benefits
-
No
site storage required for bundles of mesh.
-
Improved
safety due to less handling and reduced trip hazards.
-
Saves
time by reducing the number of processes required
to form the composite slab.
-
Saves
money due to reduced fixing and crane time, as well
as faster overall installation time.
-
The
addition of steel fibres turns brittle concrete into
a more ductile material with greater load carrying
capacity.
-
The
three dimensional nature of the steel fibre also provides
excellent crack control.
