Cold Store Slabs
The exposed concrete surface
Concrete floors are used in cold stores with temperatures as low as –40ºC. Fully matured concrete performs well at constant low temperatures.
In cold stores the concrete is not saturated and the number of freeze–thaw cycles is very small, so air entrainment is not needed. Importantly, the use of air entrainment in power-trowelled concrete floors should be avoided due to the high risk of delamination.
All forms of shrinkage can lead to cracking, although drying shrinkage is the most relevant to concrete floor slabs.
Benifit of Auber fiber
1 - Steel fibers are always evenly distributed throughout the floor while wire mesh and rebar often ends up at the wrong elevation as it gets stepped on or knocked out of position during construction.
2 - Steel fiber reinforcement allows for a cleaner safer and more efficient jobsite with no wire mesh and rebar to create a trip hazard or interfere with concrete trucks and screeding machines.
3 - Reduced time and labor. Your job can proceed faster by eliminating the time and expense of placing rebar or wire mesh.
