Steel-Fiber-Reinforced Concrete(SFRC)

Summary

Concrete with increased strength and improved properties with the addition of steel fiber. Displays its merit due to its thin layering.

Merit

• On-site, quick drying cement can be used with certain mixing machines and fresh concrete.
• Spreading, compacting and surface finishing can be done by one machine, allowing quick construction period and thin layering of concrete.
• Less traffic congestion due to shorter traffic handling distance.

Use

• Near intersections, stockyard for heavy articles, container yards, dockyards.
• Reinforcement of deck of concrete roads on bridges.
• Pavement in tunnels.

Past performance

National expressways, national highways, prefectural roads, municipal roads, grounds of firms.
