Rc-65 40-Cn Groen GB

Dramix fibres are galvanized steel fibres used to reinforce concrete. This document provides recommendations for mixing, adding, and storing Dramix fibres. It recommends mixing fibres using a central batching plant and maximum dosages depending on aggregate size. Fibres can be added together with sand and aggregates or to freshly mixed concrete. Storage should protect pallets from rain and avoid stacking.
