STRUCTURAL DESIGN   

Special building situations exist requiring structural performance for cast in place concrete, such as elevated parking facilities, piled supported floors, industrial equipment foundations, etc. These requirements are now able to be reinforced using the new generation Level V Performance Twintex TM steel fibre from Novocon.

All Novocon fibres are ASTM A820 compliant, and meet strict standards for tensile strength. Each fibre is specifically designed to meet or exceed the performance and economical expectations of our customers. The unique geometry of each Novocon fibre provides exceptional technical performance while maintaining excellent mixing and placement attributes.

COMPOSITE METAL DECKS

Steel fibre are the obvious reinforcement solution for composite metal deck construction. Novocon steel fibre have proven to be much more economical and efficient than conventional steel alternatives for these thin elevated concrete slabs. Steel fibre reinforced concrete is easily pumped to multi-storied elevations, minimizing crane time and labor.

SLAB ON GRADE

Novocon manufactures a variety of steel fibre for a superior slab on grade reinforcement solution. Conventional reinforcing mesh or bar mats, if installed correctly, typically control cracking at only one location. Located throughout the entire concrete cross section, fibre will control cracking through the entire concrete section. Steel fibre also provide superior transfer of shear loads,across sawed contraction joints, eliminating the need for costly dowels supported basket assemblies.
