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.

Tips for Finishing Helix Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete – Reinforcement for shrinkage, temperature and flexural reinforcement*

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.
