Dramix hooked steel fiber | calculation-based solutions for industrial floors

Three-dimensional reinforcement with steel fiber

Steel fiber replaces the labor-intensive layout and tying of rebar, reinforces concrete through the full slab volume and helps accelerate floor installation on facilities with high operational loads.

Engineering advantages

Why fiber works as a structural solution rather than a compromise

Three-dimensional reinforcement

Steel fibers are distributed through the full concrete volume and reinforce not only the lower layer but also the upper working zone of the slab.

Slab thickness optimization

The spatial distribution of fibers allows slab design without mandatory dependence on the cover layer required for conventional rebar.

Reliable crack control

Fiber limits crack opening at an early stage and reduces the risk of surface defects that are harder to control with one lower mesh layer.

Impact and fatigue resistance

Steel fiber reinforced concrete performs better under impact, cyclic loading and heavy-duty use where floor service life and lower repair frequency matter.

Installation and logistics

What changes on site when the reinforcement scheme moves to Dramix

Shorter work schedule

The separate stage of placing and tying a reinforcement cage is removed, together with the need to control reinforcement height across the whole slab panel.

Less heavy equipment dependence

Fiber is added into the concrete mix, and when the mixer can approach the pour area directly the dependence on a concrete pump can be reduced.

Simpler project logistics

The material is delivered in 25 kg paper bags on pallets, without long rebar bars and without complicated unloading on site.

Cleaner operation after commissioning

There is no hidden reinforcement cage under the top layer, so anchoring racks and equipment becomes simpler and safer during operation.

Economic efficiency

The showcase calculation shows savings not only on material, but also on the process

On a 4,000 m² slab, the comparison between Dramix and conventional bar reinforcement shows that fiber reduces reinforcement consumption, removes the separate tying stage and helps cut concreting costs. Below is the source Excel calculation adapted into a readable page instead of a raw spreadsheet.

Where to use it

Scenarios where fiber reveals the most value

Warehouse and logistics facilities with intensive vehicle traffic
Production areas with heavy equipment and calculated slab loads
Racking zones where floor stability and edge performance matter
Projects where concreting speed and fewer preparatory operations are critical
Sites with high demands for crack resistance and impact strength
Industrial floors that require engineering justification rather than a universal cost-saving promise
