ArcelorMittal steel fibre reinforced concrete solution for jointless slabs on piles
Solution description
TAB®Structural is the solution for steel fibre reinforced concrete slabs on piles developed by ArcelorMittal Fibres.
TAB®Structural finds its application when the soil bearing capacities are limited, or where supply of good uniform soils becomes too expensive for industrial applications. The piles act like supports to the slab and they can be executed as precast steel piles, or poured on jobsite.
TAB®Structural designs allow for the construction of the slab without any saw-cut joints and the possibility to avoid conventional mesh or traditional steel bar reinforcement. TAB®Structural is today one of the most efficient solutions for the design and construction of concrete slabs on piles bringing important technical and economical benefits to the final users
Benefits and advantages of TAB®Structural
> A simple, efficient and fast way to construct a concrete slab on piles.
> No requirement for mesh installation.
> Reduced steel reinforcement without compromise to load bearing capacity.
> High punching shear resistance of the steel fibre reinforced concrete.
> Direct pouring from concrete truck.
> Better crack control and reduced surface cracking.
> Applications for slabs on piles with or without pile heads.
> Reduced number of workers required on job site.
> Time and cost saving.
TAB®Structural applications
> Shopping centres
> Production plants
> Warehouses
> Distribution depots
> Car parks
> Car show rooms
> Hangars
TAB®Structural in action
The function of different buildings varies enormously 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. Our team can provide all the support and advice from the first design steps to the realisation of the final project.
