Steel Fibers
Steel Fibers
Steel fibers can be used to replace secondary reinforcement within slabs and walls. In addition, certain applications allow steel fibers to replace primary reinforcement. For horizontal and vertical applications.
- Walls
- Foundations
- Paving
- Increases tensile strength
- Increases concrete strain capacity
- Decrease cracking width
- Increases durability in slabs
- Increases modulus of rupture
Benefits include:
- Faster construction times through reduced labor
- Lower construction costs
- Safer project site
- Reduced plastic shrinkage cracks
- Elimination conventional reinforcing bars used for temperature and shrinkage reinforcement
- Increase in toughness, abrasion and impact resistance

What is the purpose of reinforcing in a concrete driveway or interior slab?
- Reinforcing for concrete driveways and interior slabs is used to keep control joints/saw cuts and random cracks, should they occur, tight so that both sides of the joint or crack act together when a vehicle drives over the joint or crack. Reinforcing is also used to control joint and random crack widths due to thermal changes.
