  For decades, steel bar was considered to be the best option for concrete reinforcement. However, in recent yeas, steel fiber is widely used in concrete reinforcement because it can improve the construction efficiency. Why can steel fiber enhance the efficiency of construction ?

  In the process of steel bar concrete floor construction, firstly workers need to move the steel bar to the construction area or adjacent areas for storage; and secondly, a lot of manual binding of the steel bar is required during the construction of the bidding section. Pouring concrete is needed because of the concrete's restriction on vehicle, after the steel mesh binding is finished.After the concrete is poured, it is necessary to carry out vibration and leveling in time and complete the work of wiping and polishing within the specified time. And the longest time-consuming process is generally steel bar binding and concrete pumping. In addition, the steel bars are usually stored in the warehouse or shed in the site by covering, and the construction has to be terminated due to bad weather. In this case, the steel bars will be quickly corroded by water vapor and oxygen in the air.

  Compared with reinforced concrete floor construction, steel fiber is separately packed  with moisture-proof and steam-proof, which ensures that the steel fiber has good performance before use. In addition, during the construction process, steel fiber replaces the binding process of steel bar through the feeding process. The whole process only needs 1 or 2 workers to complete the feeding process of the steel fiber, which can save a lot of labor costs and reduce the construction period. So it avoids much time-consuming preparatory work. In addition, since there is no restriction on the site in the construction area, the concrete is usually poured by direct unloading , which can greatly enhance the construction efficiency compared to pumping concrete. Gradually steel fiber is considered as one of the most significant anti-cracking construction materials.
