SDS Steel Fiber

The Benefits of Steel Fiber

• For the same mixing and construction, there is no need to add equipment or increase the construction cost of metal fibers for concrete due to the low steel fibre cost.

• Under the same strength requirement, metal fibers for concrete can replace steel mesh and reduce the pouring thickness of concrete by 15-25%.

• Improve the construction conditions, mixing vehicles and construction personnel can reach the site directly, and shorten the construction period by 30%. Steel fiber reinforced concrete has high tensile strength, which can prolong the distance between contraction joints and facilitate continuous and rapid pouring of concrete.

• Convenient construction, saving labor, greatly shortening the construction period and saving the total steel fibre cost.

  
  

The Working Principle of Steel Fiber

The working principle of steel fibers for concrete reinforcement involves reinforcing the concrete matrix in three dimensions using steel fibers. These metal fibers, with their specific tensile strength, aspect ratio (length/diameter), and anchorage, play a crucial role in enhancing concrete performance.

By being distributed throughout the concrete, steel fibers effectively restrain the formation of micro-cracks and help redistribute the accumulated stress resulting from applied loads and shrinkage. When cracks do occur, the steel fibers intercept them promptly and inhibit their growth, significantly reducing the likelihood of further crack propagation. This proactive approach ensures that the concrete remains strong and durable, minimizing the risk of structural failure.
