    The document discusses the benefits of Dramix® steel fibres for reinforcing concrete. It explains that Dramix fibres increase toughness, impact resistance, shear strength, energy absorption, fatigue resistance, and durability of concrete. This is due to their high length-to-diameter ratio, hooked ends, and ability to form a dense reinforcing network within concrete. Dramix fibres are also easier to mix than loose fibres due to their glued ends, which prevents balling. Their stable production process results in consistent quality and allows for higher design values. In summary, Dramix fibres improve the mechanical properties and structural performance of concrete.

    3 Resist crack formation

     High quantity and dispersion, make concrete ductility.


     A good ductility resist crack arising by temperature and shrinkage stress.
     High tensile strength ≥1100MPa and long anchorage.
     Well redistribute stress and keep crack fine.

     no rust
     no spalling

    1 “Best in Class” Performance

    Dramix® fibres have a


    high l/d ratio, and
    therefore a high
    performance:
    The higher the length,
    the more difficult to pull
    the fibres out of the
    concrete
    The lower the
    diameter, the more
    fibres in 1 m³, the
    L denser the network.

    Dramix®

    1 “Best in Class” Performance

    Hooked ends controlled


    pull-out (due to deformation
    of the hook).

    High tensile strength.
