Steel fiber is a contemporary and innovative technique that Ram Arbia employs to augment the strength and durability of flooring solutions. This method involves integrating steel fibers into concrete, serving as an alternative to traditional steel bars. Ram Arbia’s steel fiber-reinforced flooring is particularly advantageous for both indoor industrial flooring and outdoor applications such as pavements, garage floors, and decks.

The process involves adding steel fibers to concrete to enhance its structural properties, increasing resistance and flexibility. This addition fortifies the floor’s strength, minimizing the occurrence of cracks in hardened concrete.

For optimal use of steel fibers, two critical factors should be considered:

1. Proper Mixing: The appropriate quantity of steel fiber should be blended with concrete to achieve the best results. Inadequate steel fiber content may compromise structural strength, while excessive amounts can disrupt concrete expansion and shrinkage. Typically, a dosage of 20-30kg/m3 to 40-50kg/m3 of steel fibers is mixed with concrete for a jointless flooring system, depending on usage and load-bearing requirements.
2. Jointless Flooring System: It is advisable to utilize a jointless flooring system with steel fiber reinforcement. Jointless flooring allows for larger uninterrupted spaces, up to 50 meters, without immediate joints, providing ample space for static weight placement.
3. Advantages of Steel Fiber:

• Enhances the overall load-bearing capacity.
• Reduces concrete slab thickness due to added strength.
• Improves floor strength, minimizing the risk of chipping and cracking.
• Extends the lifespan of the concrete floor.
• Lowers maintenance costs.
• Improves the flexural properties of the concrete floor.
• Reduces water and chemical absorption capacity.
• Suitable for fast-track projects.
• Facilitates easy joint positioning.
• Pre-mixed steel fiber reduces required on-site manpower for steel reinforcement.
• Enhances abrasion resistance and impact.
• Strengthens and toughens the surface, making it more resilient.
