Mesh-free but steel reinforced!
Dramix® steel fiber concrete reinforcement is a successful alternative to traditional mesh reinforcement. In composite metal deck construction, Dramix® steel fibers offer a low-risk and cost-effective way to enhance the design capacity of composite metal deck floors. Dramix® steel fibers make the composite metal deck strong, durable and moreover reduce crack formation.

1. Replace steel with steel
a. Use a high Young’s Modulus material to strengthen the concrete, more than 5 times the concrete Young’s Modulus
b. High aspect fibers to increase the possibility that crack meets a fiber (bridging effect).
c. Avoid increasing crack-width, thanks to high creep control.d. The tensile strength of steel fibers is at least 2 times the
tensile strength of rebar, mesh or synthetic fibers.
2. Defining a fiber solution for temperature and shrinkage stresses with optimum crack control
Steel fibers offer the same level of crack control as rebar or mesh. The minimum ratio of temperature and shrinkage reinforcing area to gross concrete area shall not be less then 0.075%. Dramix Ready does not replace negative moment steel.
3. A green product
✔ Dramix® READY consists of recycled materials.✔ Dramix® READY is recyclable without any chemical side effect or pollution impact.✔ Dramix® READY offers improved environmental sustainability.
