Glued Steel Fiber refers to a type of steel fiber reinforcement commonly used in concrete applications to improve its toughness, durability, and crack resistance. Here's a detailed explanation:

Glued steel fiber consists of bundles of individual steel fibers that are glued together with a water-soluble adhesive. When mixed with concrete, the glue dissolves, allowing the fibers to disperse uniformly throughout the mix.

• Shape: Hooked-end or crimped

• Length: Typically 30–60 mm

• Diameter: 0.5–1.0 mm

• Aspect Ratio (Length/Diameter): 50–100

• Tensile Strength: 1000–1500 MPa

• Improves tensile strength of concrete

• Controls cracking due to shrinkage and thermal stress

• Enhances impact and fatigue resistance

• Reduces need for traditional reinforcement (rebar or mesh) in some applications

• Industrial floors

• Tunnels

• Precast concrete

• Shotcrete

• Airport runways

• Dams and water structures

When added to concrete, the glue holds the fibers in bundles for easy handling and mixing. After water is added, the glue dissolves, and the fibers spread evenly, forming a three-dimensional reinforcement network that holds the concrete matrix together under stress.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete is a composite material having fibers as the additional ingredients, dispersed uniformly at random in small percentages, i.e. between 0.3% and 2.5% by volume in plain concrete. SFRC products are manufactured by adding steel fibers to the ingredients of concrete in the mixer and by transferring the green concrete into moulds. The product is then compacted and cured by the conventional methods. Segregation or balling is one of the problems encountered during mixing and compacting SFRC. This should be avoided for uniform distribution of fibers. The energy required for mixing, conveying, placing and finishing of SFRC is slightly higher. Use of pan mixer and fiber dispenser to assist in better mixing and to reduce the formation of fiber balls is essential. Additional fines and limiting maximum size of aggregates to 20mm occasionally, cement contents of 350 kg to 550 kg per cubic meter are normally needed.
