With steel fibers reinforced floors

In this procedure, the traditional reinforcement of structural steel by the use of steel fibers supplemented or replaced. This procedure is allowed only for components with low hazard potential, So for example Industry floors. With reinforced components according to DIN 1045 is a building approval or Case analysis is necessary. Steel fiber concrete is not a "panacea", but rather is a test in each case makes sense

Advantages of steel fiber concrete

The Clean layer may be omitted.

The concrete can be made directly from the truck.

The construction period is shorter, since reinforcement installation and acceptance accounted.

No problems with wrong horizontal reinforcement.

Higher wear resistance, because the steel fibers to the surface rich.

Reinforcement of the cut joints increases their durability.

Almost always a cost savings compared to conventional reinforcement.

The power in the crack is usually higher than for mild steel.

Disadvantages of steel fiber concrete

Steel fibers on the surface can affect the optics.

When cutting the slip joints are isolated fibers torn.

In open areas or in wet rust risk is (purely optical problem).
