ArcelorMittal steel fibre reinforced concrete solution for slabs on grade with saw-cut joints

Solution description

TAB^®Fibre is a solution for steel fibre reinforced concrete slabs developed by ArcelorMittal Fibres and mainly finds its application in industrial floors that have to withstand light or heavy loads, either static or dynamic. Its main characteristic is the use of steel fibres that can replace traditional welded mesh.

TAB^®Fibre exists as a fibres only solution, or hybrid solution, where a combination of steel fibres and mesh is used to ensure sufficient bearing level of the slab when heavy loads are acting. Due to the presence of steel fibres and saw-cut joints in the role of contraction joints, TAB^®Fibre provides a high level of shrinkage control.

Benefits and advantages of TAB^®Fibre

> Improved concrete ductility.
> Optimised slab thickness.
> Larger panel sizes.
> Better crack control and reduced surface cracking.
> Faster construction process.
> Direct pouring from concrete truck.
> Reduced number of workers required on job site.
> Time and cost saving.

TAB^®Fibre applications

> External or internal floors for residential
> Sports facilities
> Leisure facilities
> Entertainment complexes
> Commercial 
> Distribution
> Light industrial
> Heavy industrial
> Harbour
> Cargo terminals

TAB^®Fibre in action

The function of different buildings varies greatly and it is important that the design is considered thoroughly and executed to the highest standards with your requirements in mind.

Our engineering team undertake a detailed study of all the parameters affecting the design of the structure. By doing this we can offer the optimal solution, without being unnecessarily over designed.
