Generally they are extensive surfaces with low hypotheses of loads and surface finish with decorative cladding.

Steel fibers and structural polymeric macro fibers added to concrete have become the most demanded solution to minimize execution times and cost.

The base or floor of these pavements is concrete reinforced with steel fibers (HRFA) or polymeric fibers. This is a composite material that has multiple advantages. With the addition of fibers to the concrete, mechanical strengths similar to those of  concrete reinforced traditionally with electrowelded mesh are achieved, but cracking is better controlled, in addition to achieving significant cost and time savings, notably improving execution times.

The possible appearance of fissures due to retraction is avoided by making cuts with a maximum depth of 1/3 the thickness of the screed.

On this suitable concrete base, surface solutions are subsequently applied in resins, cementitious tread layers or various decorative resistant solutions.

The main advantages of using steel fibers are:

-Effective control of cracking

-Homogeneous distribution generating a three-dimensional reinforcement

-Excellent resistance to impacts and fatigue

-Excellent corrosion resistance

-Agile and simple application

-Reduction of execution times

-Cheaper solution

-The handling problems of the traditional assembly are avoided and the risks of it’s bad placement are eliminated

-Easy to use the laser paver
