    What Is Steel Fiber Concret

    Steel fiber concrete provides superior crack resistance and strength to withstand heavy loads. It allows for joint-less floors that are 40-50 meters wide. Steel fiber dosage varies based on the project but is typically 20-30kg/m3 to 40-50kg/m3. Fibers are added at the batch plant or jobsite and improve crack resistance and can replace rebar with engineer approval. It adds $6-10 per cubic yard. Slump is reduced so superplasticizers are recommended. Applications include parking lots, runways, warehouses, and tunnels. Advantages include increased strength, durability, and impact resistance while reducing costs.

    What is Steel Fiber Concrete?

    Uses and
    Applications
    Steel fiber concrete flooring: Uses and Benefits

    BY JUAN RODRIGUEZ

    Updated April 14, 2018

    Steel fiber concrete flooring can provide superior resistance to minimize cracks in
    hardened concrete, as well as maximum resistance to withstand heavy loads, either
    dynamic or static. If you decide to use steel fiber concrete flooring, you can select to
    use a ‘joint-less floor’. Joint-less floors are floors that have minimal joints, providing
    spaces without joints as large as 40 or 50-meter span wide.

    Steel fiber dosage will vary greatly upon the project intended use, and the types of
    mesh being replaced. Common dosages are in the range between 20-30kg/m3 to
    40-50kg/m3 for joint-less floors. Trowelling concrete will help to embed steel fibers
    into the concrete surface producing a better finish product. Steel fibers will enhance
    to crack resistance of the concrete, and they can also be used to replace or
    supplement structural reinforcement. It only can be done through a structural
    engineer and with proper guidance.

    How and When the Fiber is Added?

    Typically the fibers are added at the batch plant, just after all concrete aggregates
    are being mixed. Some people would request to have the fiber added at the jobsite,
    but then the QA/QC should have more control on how much fiber is added. The steel
    fiber manufacturer can provide guidance on how to mix and the amount needed to
    obtained desired results. Be aware that if you add too much fiber, it might show up at
    the surface when finishing the concrete so be cautious about the amounts being
    mixed.

    How Much Should I Be Charged for Using It?


    In general, and depending on the type of steel fiber used, it can add between $6 to
    $10 per cubic yard on top of the ready-mix concrete cost. This cost is based on the
    assumption that you are using 1.5 pounds per cubic yard of concrete.

    How is the Workability Affected?

    If you opt-in to add fiber to your concrete mix, be aware that there will be some
    changes on the way you manage this concrete. First of all, the slump will be affected,
    and it is recommended to add a superplasticizer to enhance the slump and make the
    concrete a little more fluid. Not all steel fiber can be used as a substitute for steel
    reinforcement, so make sure that your structural engineer has reviewed and
    analyzed the loads before proceeding.

    Where to Use Steel Fiber Concrete Floors

    Typical applications for steel fiber concrete flooring can be found on parking lots,
    playgrounds, airport runways, taxiways, maintenance hangars, access roads, and
    workshops. This method is also widely used for port pavements, container storage
    and handling areas, bulk storage warehouses and military warehouses. Steel fiber
    reinforced concrete is commonly used in tunnel construction, as it provides additional
    flexural strength, reduces shrinkage cracking and reduces permeability.

    Advantages of Steel Fibers in Concrete

    Several advantages can be obtained from this product, for example:

     Increased load bearing capacity of concrete


     Reduction of concrete slab thickness
     Load capacity is not diminished by concrete cracks
     Increased durability
     Low maintenance costs
     Improved flexural properties
     Reduced absorption of water, chemicals, etc.
     Can be used on fast track schedule
     Easier positioning of joints
     Reduced site labor for managing steel reinforcement
     Reduced project costs
     Increased impact and abrasion resistance
     Even distribution of fibers throughout the concrete
     Tougher surface with fewer bleed holes

     Savings will be greater for heavier crack control systems
