Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Steel fibre reinforced concrete has caught on in a large number of applications. These applications include tunnel construction, industrial floor construction, foundation slabs or components requiring extremely high wear resistance. The scope of application (components, structures) and the application depth (limitation of the crack width to ensure suitability for use and durability) of steel fibre reinforced concrete will become more important in Germany due to the “Steel fibre reinforced concrete” directive of the Deutscher Ausschuss für Stahlbeton which is almost complete, as well as through current and forthcoming approval notification.
