Description: Dramix

fibres are filaments of wire, deformed and cut to lengths, for reinforcement of concrete, mortar and other composite materials. Dramix RC-80/60-BN is a cold drawn wire fibre, with hooked ends, and glued in bundles.

Tensile strength:
- on the wire: minimum 1050 N/mm2 - low carbon conforms to: - DIN 17 140-D9 - low carbon conforms to: - EN 10016-2 - C9D

Coating: None Technical data:

For industrial floors, floors on vibrocompacted piles, jointless floors... ask for specialized documentation.

Applications:
- jointless floors - suspended ground slabs - jointless floors on - vibrocompacted piles - industrial floors - slabs on vibro- compacted piles

A
- liquid tight floors - overlays - pavements - segmental linings - compression layers - cellar walls - precast

1 Equivalent flexural strength

- ffctm,eq,300, ffctk,eq,300 = average and characteristic equivalent flexural strength to a deflection of 1,5 mm according to NBN B 15-238, 239, JSCE-SF4 and CUR35. - ffctm,eq,150, ffctk,eq,150 = average and characteristic equivalent flexural strength to a deflection of 3 mm according to NBN B 15-238, 239, JSCE-SF4 and CUR35.

Recommendations - mixing
1. General  preferably use a central batching  recommended maximum dosage:
Max. aggregate size (mm) Dosage (kg/m3) pour 60 50 35 pump 45 35 30

plant mixer

if ffct,eq,300 is not known then ffct,eq,300 is taken equal to ffct,eq,150

 a continuous grading is preferred  mix until all glued fibres are separated into
individual fibres. Fibres dont increase mixing time significantly.  if special cements or admixtures are used, a preliminary test is recommended

4 Equivalent shear strength

The design value of the increase in shear strength due to steelwire fibres: fd (N/mm2) - (material safety factor included). The contribution of concrete and stirrups must be added to this contribution of the wire fibres.

2. Fibre addition 2.1. In batching plant mixer  never add fibres as first component  fibres can be introduced together with
sand and aggregates, or can be added in freshly mixed concrete  only for drummixer: unopened degradable bags can be thrown directly in the mixer

2.2. Truckmixer  run mixer at drum speed: 12-18 rpm  adjust slump to a min. of 12 cm
(preferably with water reducing agents or high water reducing agents)  add fibres with maximum speed of 40 kg/min  unopened degradable bags can be added provided that drum speed is min. 12 rpm  optional equipment: belt-hoist elevator  after adding the fibres, continue mixing at highest speed for 4-5 min. ( 70 rotations)
