Verco Diaphragm Shear Deflection Equations
Verco and Bekaert have teamed up to use Bekaert's Dramix® steel fiber with Verco's composite deck – Steel fiber reinforcement has been around since the 1970-ies and continues to evolve with time. The bends and hooks are crucial to the fiber's anchoring performance and subsequent concrete ductility. These features, in combination with steel elongation, are the main-differentiators of Bekaert's Dramix® steel fiber concrete reinforcement series.
