| Application |
An innovative and functional solution needed to be found and Perfect Construct Ltd turned to Mapei, who proposed a complete system for the construction of fibre-reinforced concrete floors.
Rather than using steel fibres, as specified in the original project, Mapei proposed the use of high strength polymer fibres - MAPEFIBRE ST 50 TWISTED - which were added during the mixing phase of the concrete, along with DYNAMON SR31 super-plasticising admixture and MAPECURE SRA curing admixture. The fibres enabled the steel reinforcement to be eliminated, whilst guaranteeing a high level of ductility and toughness for the concrete. The admixtures enabled the concrete to maintain its workability over an extended period, made it easier to pour and helped maintain its high mechanical performance properties and, at the same time, reduced hydraulic shrinkage and the risk of the formation of micro-cracks. |
