Ruregold have their micro-concrete products which are ideal for the structural reinforcement of concrete structures and elements

MICRO GOLD STEEL
Micro-concrete reinforced with metal fibers for structural reinforcement and seismic retrofit.

Micro Gold Steel is a pre-mixed mortar reinforced with metal fibers developed for seismic retrofit and the further reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures even without the use of additional metal components. A highly ductile and lasting mortar, pourable, and strongly adhesive to any type of substrate is obtained with the addition of the proper amount of water. It has a hardening behavior after the post-cracking phase, that is, it increases the resistance to residual tensile stresses, unlike traditional structural fiber reinforced mortars. This mechanical behavior, characterized by a very high capacity of energy absorption, enables the use of Micro Gold Steel for the seismic retrofit of different reinforced concrete structures adding limited thicknesses ranging from 15 to 45 mm.
