SMART SOLUTIONS for

FSC Technologies – Large Flexible Paver behavior. FLEXSTREN introduces a new way to give flexural behavior to concrete products, overcoming steel reinforcing limitations (cover requirements, and steel corrosion).  FLEXSTREN Technology consists of applying a post-compression on dry cast concrete products  – after normal curing – with a stressed and oriented high tensile continuous composite   

This reinforcing is NOT dispersed in the concrete mix but applied only where it is needed.

 Ultra Thin Wall Concrete Pipe without reinforcing steel cage has semi-rigid behavior thanks to the external wrapping with composite material based on the FLEXSTREN Technology.

Concrete Pipe D = 18’’ (457 mm) – Thickness 0.5’’ (13 mm) - Length = 12’’ (305 mm)

First crack with a deflection of 1% roughly; 3% of deflection with 7.87/1000’’ (0.2 mm) crack; the ultimate load rise linearily with 14.2% of deflection
