Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete
STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE (SFRC)
Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) uses short steel fibers (hooked-end, crimped, or straight) mixed into concrete for maximum post-crack structural performance. SFRC is used in industrial floors, heavy-load warehouse slabs, tunnel linings, shotcrete, precast segments, and blast-resistant construction where maximum toughness, ductility, and impact resistance are required. Steel fiber dosage rates are engineered based on structural requirements.
Key Highlights
Maximum toughness
steel fibers provide the highest post-crack strength of any fiber type.
Industrial grade
used in warehouse floors, tunnel linings, and blast-resistant construction.
Reduced conventional reinforcement
can reduce or eliminate rebar in certain slab applications.
Why Choose Our Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Steel fiber reinforced concrete delivers the highest level of fiber reinforcement performance — maximum toughness, ductility, and impact resistance. We use SFRC for industrial floors, heavy-load warehouse slabs, shotcrete applications, and any project where maximum post-crack performance is required. Dosage rates are engineered based on structural requirements.
Signs You Need Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete
1. Heavy-duty industrial application
Industrial floors, heavy equipment pads, or blast-resistant construction requiring maximum concrete toughness.
Our Process
Step 1 — Engineering
Determine fiber type, dosage rate, and any conventional reinforcement reduction based on structural analysis.
Step 2 — Batch and deliver
Steel fibers added at the batch plant with careful mixing to ensure uniform distribution.
Step 3 — Place and finish
Place concrete using standard methods — steel fiber concrete requires some modified finishing to push surface fibers below the surface.

FAQs About Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Will steel fibers stick up from the surface?
Proper finishing techniques push steel fibers below the surface. With experienced crews and correct mix design, the finished surface should be free of protruding fibers. Any occasional surface fibers can be removed during the finishing process.
