NOVOCON STEEL FIBRES : Concrete materials are very brittle when subjected to normal stresses and impact loads. There has always been a need to add reinforcement to concrete to compensate for this lack of ductility. In many cases, the concrete member is kept intact using steel bars or welded wire fabric reinforcement in one or two locations of potentially high stress. If the concrete cracks, the concrete is hinged together at those limited locations. The introduction of randomly distributed steel fibre reinforcing throughout the concrete mix transforms the hardened concrete material into a more flexible composite system. The tensile stresses of the concrete are not just compensated for in one or two locations. The concrete material is reinforced throughout the entire concrete section, in multiple directions. Steel fibre reinforced concrete is able to withstand much greater stresses, both prior to and after cracking. Homogeneously reinforced concrete has substantially greater fatigue and impact resistance than conventionally reinforced materials, greatly reducing the potential for fractures and spalling. If the concrete should crack, steel fibre reinforcement is able to minimize the crack width. All Novocon steel fibres are ASTM A820 compliant Type I steel fibres made from high tensile steel cold drawn steel wire and specially engineered for use in concrete to provide numerous quality, durability and performance enhancement Novocon steel fibres,
are available in the following types.
Xorex
ISF
Novotex and
Hooked End
BENEFITS :
Improve flexural properties
Improve fatigue resistance
Improve crack control and joint stability
Improve flatness indexes.
Improve impact resistance, abrasion resistance and toughness of concrete.
Improve shatter resistance and ductility of the concrete. Can be used as a replacement of conventional steel reinforcement in ground supported slab, composite metal deckings and shotcreting works to save cost and time and provide better quality and performance.
