Extradosal reinforcement of floors by applying thixotropic fibre-reinforced concrete
The restoration and consolidation in small thicknesses of inclined elements, such as roof slabs, is possible thanks to the application of cementitious concretes, fiber-reinforced with micro-reinforcement of metal fibers, with a thixotropic consistency. Before carrying out the casting, it is advisable to evaluate the possibility of inserting pegs to ensure a collaborative connection of the system with the existing slab and metal connectors for the connection with the underlying perimeter structures. We proceed by preparing guides, in wood or metal, as high as the thickness planned for the reinforcement, in order to help the operator in the phases of stapling the material.
