This feature is only available in the UK and where Kingspan floor decks reinforced with FibreFlor are available. It is not available in the United States.

Composite slabs traditionally have been constructed using top mesh reinforcement to resist cracking of the slab surface and to provide the tensile strength for the condition where the strength of the deck is reduced when directly exposed to the heat of a fire. In some cases, conventional reinforcement can be replaced with steel and synthetic fibres.

Fibres may be used in lieu of, or in addition to, traditional reinforcing such as mesh. It can be mixed in the concrete at the concrete batching plant to provide a pre-reinforced concrete without the need for mesh reinforcement to be installed on site. This gives many advantages at the construction stage over the traditional mesh reinforced composite slab.

While the RAM Structural System does not perform an investigation of fire rating requirements, RAM Steel Beam will consider the contribution of the fibres in reducing or eliminating the need for traditional transverse reinforcing.
