Fibre Reinforced Concrete - Tab-deckâ„¢

Due to continuing developments with fibre reinforced concrete, it is rapidly becoming an intrinsic part of composite metal deck floor construction. Using the â€˜Tab-deckâ„¢â€™ system removes the need for traditional mesh reinforcement with all its associated problems of handling, storage and safety. Steel fibre reinforced concrete is a composite material formed by adding steel fibres into the concrete mix (either at the batching plant or on site) prior to pouring of concrete.

The addition of steel fibres turns the normally brittle concrete into a more ductile material with greater load carrying capacity. The three dimensional nature of the steel fibre provides excellent crack control.

Soffit Fixings

All of the SMD profiles offer the opportunity of utilizing soffit fixings for services, ceilings etc. These fixings can accommodate threaded rod sizes of 6mm, 8mm and 10mm for loads up to 2.0kN.

These fixings are available from Lindapter International Ltd 01274 521444. The â€˜Vâ€™ nut is to be used with the SMD R51 profile and the â€˜TR60â€™ nut is to be used for both the TR60 and TR80 profiles. Guidance on the use of these fixings is available from Lindapter International Limited.
