Ram Arbia has embraced the use of fib-mix or (SRFC) steel-fiber-reinforced-concrete flooring due to its well-established advantages, offering undeniable benefits to the flooring sector and the broader construction industry. Recognizing the significance of this innovative method, Ram Arbia has entered into a contract with the leading steel fiber production company, Forcetech. Forcetech, known for its cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art facility, produces high-quality steel fibers. Ram Arbia proudly holds the exclusive designation as the official partner and distributor of Forcetech products in KSA, demonstrating its commitment to adopting new industry trends to better serve its customers.

In essence, SRFC provides remarkable strength, resistance to bear heavy loads (both static and dynamic), and enhances the flexural properties of concrete floors. It acts as a potent enhancement for concrete floors, akin to providing a multivitamin boost to amplify their power and performance.

The SFRC technique serves as an alternative to using reinforcing wires or bars welded in concrete structures to secure the concrete slab in place. By uniformly dispersing steel fiber in the concrete mix, the entire concrete slab gains increased toughness to provide essential support to the flooring structure.

Key Advantages of SRFC:

Cost-Effective:

• Enhances durability, resulting in long-term cost-effectiveness.
• Eliminates the need for on-site steel reinforcement, reducing labor costs.
• Ensures economical designs, contributing to an overall project cost reduction.
• Minimizes or eliminates the investment in crack control systems, making SFRC a budget-friendly option.

Concrete:

• Enhances flexural properties and bending strength nearly threefold compared to traditional concrete mixes.
• Prevents shrinkage cracks.
• Increases the load-bearing capability of the floor.
• Reduces the required thickness of the concrete slab.
• Minimizes curling, ensuring a more durable floor.

Environmental:

• Reduced capacity to absorb water and chemicals prevents stain formation on the floor.
• Minimizes surface permeability, reducing dust.

Resistance:

• Enhances overall floor resistance.
• Approximately 1.5 times increase in fatigue strength of the floor.
• Superior resistance against spalling, abrasion, impact, and flexural strength.
• Improved ability to withstand thaw and freeze cycles.
• Enhanced resistance to erosion damage.

Quality:

• Strengthens the surface with fewer bleed holes.
• Prevents cracking or chipping of the floor.
• Improves tensile strength.
• Increases the lifespan of the floor.
• Provides a corrosion-free surface.
• Reduces the likelihood of corner castings in concrete slabs.
• These compelling advantages have prompted the construction industry to adopt SFRC flooring in their structures to elevate the quality of their construction sites. Aligning with global trends, Ram Arbia stands as a pioneer in offering SFRC to its customers. The highly trained and experienced team at Ram Arbia is fully equipped to handle steel fiber-reinforced concrete slabs, ensuring the productive and efficient installation of flooring for construction sites while adhering to all safety measures.
