LOW THICKNESS REINFORCEMENT WITH
FIBER-REINFORCED MICRO-CONCRETE (HPFRC)

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

  1. Mechanical scarification, sandblasting, hydro-scarification or other treatment of the support suitable for removing all the degraded parts of the existing concrete and obtaining a good degree of surface roughness necessary to ensure correct adhesion of the collaborating layer to the support.
  2. After saturating the substrate with water, preparation of perfectly sealed formworks. It is recommended to reinforce the formwork by intensifying the steel stirrups. Adopt casting stages no higher than 3 meters.
  3. Mix with a vertical axis mixer, at high speed, equipped with planetary movement blades and scraper (type IMER MIX 360 or similar) according to the mixing procedure indicated in the micro-concrete data sheet.
  4. Casting by simple pouring from above of RINFOR GROUT COL micro-concrete, which combines self-leveling rheology with exceptional physical-mechanical values ​​and which allow for structural reinforcement and increase in the ductility of the structure. The micro-concrete must contain a very high content of steel microfibers (> 130,000 READYMESH MR-200 fibers for each 25 kg bag of premix), synthetic polyolefin fibers in READYMESH PM-060 and special crystallizing additives capable of reducing free shrinkage and increasing, with a self-healing process, the durability of the reinforcement. Thickness of the layer from 30 mm to 60 mm according to structural drawings. The consumption of the product is approx. 22.5 kg/m² per cm of applied thickness.
  5. Take care of the curing of the casting according to the prescriptions described in the “Guidelines for the installation of structural concrete” of the Higher Council of Public Works.
  6. After adequate curing of the reinforcement, smooth the surfaces with RASOCOAT high-adhesion smoothing compound, applied with two coats with a total thickness of about 2 mm
